Luli McMullen: You could grab the past and drag it with you like a bag of rocks. You can grab that new diet with grape fruits, and a brand new exerciser, and maybe that new washer-dryer set. You can grab and grab and grab, 'til your fists turn green. You can grab everything you ever wanted. Shake it. Try to make it go boom. Yeah, you can never ever grab enough. Pop!

Featured review
Just not very good, pointless & totally forgettable
This movie has unfortunately earned the negative reviews it has seen since it's release. I haven't read the source material, but I can guarantee this is one of those instances of it being better than the adaptation. This is not the fault of the actors. Chloe Grace-Moretz makes this film tolerable, which is impressive given her age at the time of filming. She is quite likeable in everything I've seen her in, this is no exception.
The rest of the cast suffers from a bad script and bad casting. Blake Lively seems like a major character in this film, until she disappears for a long period of time completely destroying any momentum her character had in the story. Eddie Redmayne is a capable actor, but I just don't buy him as this manipulative, dangerous, and unstable cowboy. Alec Baldwin appears out of nowhere in the last ten minutes, I get the feeling that his character Beau should have been a bigger part of the story.
The biggest problems with this movie is that the script meanders and the pacing is awful. This is one of those movies where you get forty-five minutes into it, and still aren't sure what it's even about. The movie then races to its conclusion in the final twenty minutes. What did any of the characters learn? How did they grow as people? It is unclear by the end as to how the events of the movie shaped and impacted our main character, making this a complete waste of time and a forgettable boring slog that I will surely forget immediately after completing this review.
