I like most of actors in this movie. Well, Ben Affleck even directed couple much better movies. So, why in this ? We can come with "usual suspects" - money, famous director ... Actually, not really relevant.

Let's talk about subject:

2.5 half hours - yep, good for those who liked it, viewers and authors :-)

The whole story could be told in 3-4 sentences. I will not do it, not in spoiler mood :-)

What bothered me most is low level of reality. And of course, lot of other reviews noticed it. Police investigation was really poor.

As positive side I see showing all negative influence of media, 'news' channels, and like. Well, not something not seen before.

Lot of reviews here did not like ending. I see it as in same manner as whole movie. And thinking - maybe they planned a sequel . Imagine what all can after such ending be good for new movie with those 2 - 'most f*ed up married couple in Am.' :-) Actually, I think that it was most intelligent part in it (that opinion of expensive lawyer). I can wait to ....

I watched this mini serial for the second time in last days. And must say that this, final episode was disappointment. About 1 hour long, and they did not talk about what caused all that destruction of city. Just some bombing was mentioned. That's really pathetic, and very important issue is just omitted. It made me thinking about original Star Trek, probably most acclaimed episode. "The City On the Edge of Forever" . It has something similar as this serial - dilemma about consequences of changing the past (time travel involved too), high position politician involved. And in. 50 min long single episode they found time to explain it pretty well.

Last some 20 minutes were kind of melodramatic love story combined with 'another life effect' .

And contradiction with what happened many times, was told that 'past' will do everything to prevent it's change. Nope - it was changed, as future too.

Some reviews here say that lot of it differs to what is in book. But then - Stephen King is listed as executive producer and co writer of some episodes .

Possible final message - 'love is most important' is just not proper for events which happened, for central theme of serial.

What a pile of shallow nonsense. Dark humor ? Yes, if you are sadist, crazy and like ... What was the point of all it ? That they will continue the same, just now with kids at side .

School in France - copy of US school - bullying, beating others, selling dope ... Serious other unrealism. Then, FBI guys, police was shown as highly incompetent - gangsters eliminated them just like that.

What wanted they with this movie ? Entertainment - I was not entertained. To say: yes, crime does pay. You can be multiple murderer and still be free, even with protection, that people will like you for being some mobster. Not to mention that they did not need to work, so someone paid them. Only bad thing is need to move again. What about move them to prison ? That's pretty good witness protection too. Poor Luc Besson.
