Star Performances

There are no flaws in the acting performances of the leads and the supporting roles. 

Analysis

Ben Affleck, who scripted, directed and acted in the film, should have chosen a better script. Not even a single moment in the film is enjoyable. Right from the beginning till the climax, the film makes the people get bored.

What’s There?

  • Star cast in the movie is a plus
  • Cinematography and the background scores are quite okay

What’s Not There?

  • Boring script and screenplay
  • No exciting twists and turns
  • Draggy scenes brings yawn

Verdict

The film could not even be called as a bad movie. It is the worst one that makes the people sleep in the theaters. Don’t feel for missing the film.
