ruined by weak script

Rating: 4/10 (4 July 2020)

Terrific acting, action, characters, bahston, charlestown, but the plot is littered with plot holes. the biggest: you just perpetrated the biggest crime in the country, will lead every newscast, every leo is on the lookout, and how do you escape? into the wilds of florida! florida, that untamed, wild land where christoper columbus just stepped ashore. forget the fact that half the kooks from boston and long guyland live in florida. they will never find you in the uncharted swamps of florida. then claire, the bank teller. she gets involved in the biggest crime in the country! she covers for doug, she accepts the money. never mind she does good with the money. the fbi knows she's with the lead bank robber, and she willingly puts her self into a situation where life in prison could easily result. her character was not realistic. they needed to hash the sreenplay out for another year. the day after the robbery, there was no real motivation for doug to follow claire. no way. they would leave, or lay for awhile. it was just an easy way to get the bank robber and the bank manager together. but i think this was ben affleck's best acting. he's damn good. the speech, the patterns, the people, it has the feeling of real life. and blake lively steals the effing show. she is great. sexy as hell. drunk charlestown skank. she nailed it, stole every scene she was in. she gets dissed cause she started out on gossip girl, but imho she really shows some acting chops here. lot of good stuff, but the screenplay wasn't ready. im gone like evonne goolagong, you won't be able to find me, cause i'm a floridian, and we're off the edge of the world down here. word.
