Human Capital

But the movie is a letdown. Its to rushed, jumps around and then at the end its much to hurried. The cast in name is good, but thats about it. Its a one done.

Human Capital is a remake of the Italian movie by the same name but made for the American audience but this one didn't translate well, it was dull and confusing from the beginning. It stared Liev Schreiber whose daughter intertwines with Marisa Tomei's family over a deadly accident. Peter Sarsgard played Marisa's husband who losses Liev's investment and doesn't pay him back till he is manipulated. The story even gets more confusing when it's portrayed from each character's point of view, I would have just fast forwarded it to end scenes and skip the rest of the flick. It was good to watch once, but it just wouldn't be worth watching again.

The film has its stars, it has its story, but its made on a balanced budget and have no real climaxes. its a film told in a retrospective way, but its a smooth in its progress that it makes it become too repetitive for , so it doesnt get the badge for the best film of the year.

its all a question about who drove that car... the grumpy old man knows, but will i recommend it... if you like traffic or that kinda genre, youll love this flick , i did not

...and the rest of their film crew - and their family and friends, ridiculously up-vote their film. No way of the current 1,616 ratings this film is even close to a 8.8/10.

Film critic Noel Murray from the L.A. Times nailed it: "Frankly, the payoff to the movie's mystery is unsatisfying after all the buildup. None of these three stories really works as a short film on its own."

There's no excuse for this mess considering director Marc Meyers and writer Oren Moverman are not inexperienced film-makers.

A 5th grader could've written, directed and edited this film better! Think 3-4 different films put in a shredder, then random pieces taped together to make one film.

There is terrible plot transition between what you'd think is the key story, another one pops up, then a mish-mash of back and forth timelines, then an entirely new focus on another plot, etc. Add to this the terrible pacing, and the 95 min run-time felt like 3 hours of a convoluted mess.

Meyers also failed miserably in directing his cast - Schreiber and Tomei seemed barely awake, and you couldn't quite place Hawke's personality... one minute she's an introvert, then an extrovert.

This film had a lot of potential, but missed the mark big time. Maybe too many producers pulling at each other with the direction this film needed to go. Then again, with that many, the phony up-votes were easily achieved.

Skip this mess or read the novel instead. It's a very generous 5/10 from me.

Yes, it has a great cast, but... that's about it.

Otherwise it's a rather pedestrian "lives crashing together" type drama, centered around a car accident. It's also rather obvious what happens.
