The trailer suckered me in. I enjoy deep, character driven films, with themes of family bonds, forgiveness, redemption, overcoming one's past, etc. THIS WAS NOT THAT! This movie, as my poor, unsuspecting "nightmare"/sleepwalking viewing partner summed it up, is "Pointless." Horrible. Bleak. Slow. Depressing. Boring. Dark. Negative. Ugly. Stupid & Pointless. It was a Dreadful waste of time. It goes from dark & ugly, to darker & uglier, to horrific & ugliest. There are moments with glimpses of humor and warmth--but those are very fleeting and almost nonexistent. The cast is very strong, and it is mind boggling that any of them said yes to this god-awful script. How did this movie even get made? How much money did they waste on this bad, bad film?
On the way out of the theater, we overheard "This made me feel real bad." This movie will make anyone feel bad. It is horrible. So, I recommend it for anyone who enjoys feeling really really bad.
Seriously, a mind boggling disaster of epic proportions.
