Not That Great

Rating: 3/10 (5 August 2016)

Went to see this film with a group of friends, one who had read the book and was pumped about seeing the film.
I watched and watched, just daily suffering with no character building or chemistry between any of the characters. There were so many questions about what was happening with no answers.
I had seen all the hype about a shoe in Oscar nomination for Jolie, but honestly the film was very well made, but poorly directed. So the reason she was not nominated was obvious to me.
when the film was over, there was just some quick pictures with captions about the main character going back to where all this happened and made the decision to forgive those at the prisoner camp. When the film was over the woman who had read the book was livid. She said the ending captions were the main part of the book that made it so interesting and it was just left out.
So even from going in cold, I was not impressed with the flow, which was sporadic at best, or the lack of details of the men in the camp. It was a boring mess.
Rating is 2/10.
