Goofs

As the blue Caprice is driving towards Washington DC, the road signs indicate it is traveling eastbound on Interstate 66 through Virginia. But if they were driving from New Jersey (as the plot implies) to Washington DC, they would most likely be driving southbound on Interstate 95 from the direction of Baltimore MD. They would be nowhere near Interstate 66 or Virginia.

Unmoving. Failed Potential

Be warned, if you came to this movie expecting action don't bother.

The film started off with sparks but didn't catch fire. I went into this film with few expectations and I was still left in the cold considering the film had the chance to make it big. First off, the biopic loses the audience too quickly.The movie shows unnecessary scenes, questionable cuts coupled with an unintelligent and very slow paced story line. With that said, the movie revolves mainly around the relationship and partnership of John Allen and Malvo leading up to the shootings but just doesn't cut it. Instead, it spiritlessly drags around for 90+ minutes and spirals out of control shooting away past the main point. It's a superficial portrayal of a grander problem given that the movie doesn't explore fully the mind and emotions of the characters and how deep the problem really is.Rather, it breaks from scene to scene barely scratching the surface. It leaves the audience, who want to feel the heart and mind of the characters, uneasy and unsatisfied .Still, I've gotta hand a round of applause to Washington and Richmond for giving chilling performances that actually made the colorless film watchable. Also, the mood and atmosphere blends well with what the director tries to show us. All in all the film is a solid 5.
