User reviews

This movie sucked so much that I decided to write a review. Oh my god, I don't know where to start. I don't know if there is such award as Anti-Oscar. Probably, there is, because creators obviously were trying to win it in all nominations possible. Worst actor/actress, worst screenplay, worst movie, worst movie of all time, worst movie of all time and space.

It is like Ben Affleck was thinking: OK you don't like how I act? I can make you suffer even more! I will make my own movie with blackjack and hookers! You will PLEAD me to ACT, so that I didn't have time to MAKE movies! Ha-ha-ha!!!

I was watching this movie, waiting for two hours: now scenario will twist and the action will become interesting, suddenly I will see all previous BS in a new light, -- I was telling myself. Nope. Here's how you should watch this movie: watch first five minutes, then assume continuation in most beaten, in most Hollywood-cliché way, -- and it's like you've seen the entire movie. I've just saved you 2 hours of your life. You are welcome.

After reading the reviews I was getting ready for a good thriller drama but what we get is a non sensical movie. I was waiting to see how they would build the romance between the gangster and the bank staff but it just happens in one scene in a laundromat. It was unbelievable and every scene between them didn't work out. A bank manager falling for a stranger just like that.

The robbery scenes happens just like that. They keep shooting at cops all over the place and we hear no one got killed except one guard.

It was difficult to root for the main character as there was nothing they showed which made us care for him.

Just a shallow movie.

Not sure where the rave reviews came from. This was long and very very dull. Started with an interesting idea and just became boggy and violent. Give it a miss.

All of the actors are superb with the exception (of course) of Affleck who can't act his way out a paper bag. If this film is supposed to pull the heart strings, it fails miserably. Sorry, I just can't feel sympathy for life-long criminals and their families who are also life-long criminals. Horrible movie, which is what I'd expect from Affleck. Too bad some of these great actors (e.g. Renner, Hamm, etc.) are wasted on this piece of trash.
