What a load of slow paced crap...

Rating: 2/10 (15 September 2013)

If you like watching movies that are slow paced, boring, full of bad acting, over produced, overly long, and give you no sympathy for the characters, then this is the film for you!
From the whole controversy about this films torture scenes to the fact it was nominated for a load of awards, i was expecting something with a lot more punch. The whole way through, i just kept thinking 'Ok its going to pick up the pace soon' but...it never did. Boring, bad acting, totally overrated, and the torture scenes were nowhere near as bad as how they were made out to be. Characters were unconvincing, i felt nothing for them, there was never any relationship between anyone. Its a shame this film was so bad, as i expected a lot more from the director of one of my favorite movies (The Hurt Locker). Overall, not one I would watch again. And 157 minutes? Seriously? It could have been done in 30. Might have enjoyed it more if it was.
