After hearing the Oscar nominations I thought to myself, at last, some decent films have been nominated for a change. I loved Silver Linings and Beasts of the Southern Wild. I was really excited to see this film too.
Then I watched it, and wow, I must say, this is up there with one of the most boring, poorly acted films I've ever seen. There's no depth to any of the characters, the script is weak with more holes than a tea bag, it might as well been an episode of Scooby Doo!!
It's so bad I can't even be bothered to write a proper review.
I loved the Hurt Locker but this film is just lazy on so many levels. Including the Oscar nomination, this film only got one because of the subject matter
This had the potential to be a superb film full of intrigue and suspense, instead we got Scrappy Doo goes to Pakistan.
Avoid at all costs.
