Featured reviews
I gave it a 5 just because of Matthew. The beginning was kinda slow and I was ready to go to bed and then it became interesting, even thrilling. A moral dilemma, is it ok to do somethin wrong for a good cause? My kindda movie! And just when I was ready for a good thriller, a twist came and ruined it. The idea would be ok if the whole movie went a bit deeper in characterisation and inner feelings of protagonist. This way movie is mish mash of everything and in the end turned out to nothing. Disappointment.
This film would have turned out a lot better if it just stuck to its advertised plot. The ludicrous twist that occurs completely derails the movie and makes everything that comes after it essentially pointless. While I appreciate an original idea out of Hollywood, this was just bizarre. Some of the dialogue is unintentionally hilarious and the whole film just feels off. It's a shame so many talented actors were wasted in this.
I agree with the previous reviewers: until the twist occurs the movie does well. McConaughey is always great to watch and is very convincing. The "Old man and the sea" premise is also passable, as is Anne Hathaway. But after the twist the movie becomes a mess. The result is mediocre at best. Not a good drama, not a good thriller, and so-so mystery/fantasy. I only recommend it to the fans of Matthew McConaughey, otherwise, save your time.
Seriously underrated! The ending was superb and unpredictable. Really loved the lead roles performances. Worth ur time
I really enjoyed the plot line to this movie as well as being on point with the message it delivered, different to the usual Hollywood marvel movies which seems to be on a production line or the movies with an agenda. This is well worth a watch.
