Excellent characters but not too funny

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2017)

I really enjoyed this movie. Pitt gives a stellar performance and the rest of the cast impresses as well. There were a few funny scenes though, for the most part, I had a hard time laughing at the earnestness of the characters. To me, the entertainment came in a sort of morbid fascination. It was like watching a train crash in extreme slow motion. The very front collides first, but the steam continues to pour out and the pistons keep pumping as if nothing is wrong until eventually, the shock reaches the rest of the engine and everything disintegrates.
Overall, if you think you'd enjoy watching some top notch actors go out and have fun playing interesting if not exactly well fleshed out characters I recommend this movie.
