The best way to describe this movie is 'predictable', and not because of a lack of effort but because of an overenthusiasm to shock the audience. You can still find some of Sorkin's signature 'poetic' dialogue but it's nowhere as impressive as I've seen it be (ala The Social Network, A Few Good Men). The acting tries to distract you from how little sense this meandering plot makes. With all its twists, turns and red herrings, you'll think that this is supposed to be some kind of game where you have to guess what happens next. And sadly, it's very easy to guess what happens next.
