It was entertaining, plot was certainly clear, acting was good although over the top which was what they were going for. Script was thorough and had some nice sub-plots. But not a film I would watch again, even with my wife. But they mad a film, with big studio and names, employed a lot of people and continued film making. Think there was too much they were trying to get digs in, maybe it was more parody of todays politics which is certainly over the top calamity. But it is entertaining to some degree.

You try to find good in everything... found this very hard to do with this film. Did not care for the script or storyline, made no since, completely unbelievable in all aspects. No meaning what so ever. Cast... lets just say again it was not appealing to us. Sean Penn and Bradley Cooper's performances were a slam mix to get names in a movie. There are jumps in time and space that happen and you are not sure what happened. Could not wait for this journey to end, and it is long. Sure some people might find it in a different way, and very sorry I could not see anything in this. But, with all that, it is a film, they employed a lot of people and they mad a film! Which I commend them for.

So here they took a storyline that we all know so well, added some unique characters and a urgency to give them a storyline. It was heartfelt at times, sadistic and cruel at others. Made you stop and think! Isn't that why we watch movies? So we enjoyed, acting was good, overall a nice film!
