Overall, I thought this movie was pathetic. With the extra weight, I thought someone was a double for Affleck and one of the other actors could double for George Clooney. This isn't usually the type of film that appeals to me, but it looked like it might be good. UNfortunately, it was not. The acting wasn't that bad, but the story line left SO much to be desired that, at one point, I was laughing at comical things that weren't meant to be comical. If I acted in this film, I don't think I'd ever list it in my credits, because it looks like something only B-Movie actors would agree to be a part of. Ben? Not one of your strongest films, so much so that I didn't realize this was a recent film and thought it might have been one of your first films. Oh so sad.

It was long, but captivating. I'm quite surprised that Ralph Fiennes didn't get the best actor Oscar for his performance in this film. I thought he was amazing in it. Juliette Binoche deserved her Oscar for best supporting actress and William DeFoe played an excellent role as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
