Shocking...

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2014)

I'm not a movie expert but I know a bad film when I see one. Me and a friend decided we would go and see it in the cinema, and eventually we left, even having paid an unworthy amount to see it. I was struggling to keep my eyes open.
Even though it was deftly made, and it had a good storyline (based on a true story, and interesting for those who like that sort of thing), there was some mediocre acting. And the score, even though it was... different; in my opinion, it did not deserve the Oscar compared to some of the scores nominated that year. Albeit very interesting,I thought it was somehow repetitive and slightly boring.
Personally I cannot see how in the world this film has been so critically well claimed when masterpieces such as the Shawshank Redemption have scores as low as 50 on Metacritic, whilst this has no less than 95. I feel it was boring, slow-paced and, at the most, average.
