Hmmm, not sure what to say about this film since this guy I was talking to on New Year's Eve said to me, "do you know what movie was really really long?' and then went on to say "and boring?"
It was boring and not really believable. I don't believe Angelina was a housewife who becomes an alcoholic due to her husband being in the CIA. She's not even in the movie long enough for you to care about her at all. A few clips here and a few there. Although there's lots of whispers and Matt Damon having a stoic face, it wasn't interesting enough to watch all the way through. Also, I thought the guy they cast as his son was ridiculous. Not a good actor and geeky to look at. Yeah, I know he's supposed to be a geeky, self-consious young man but it's the movies, with a mom like Angelina, you'd think the kid would turn out better looking.
As far as movie content, I like DeNiro, always have. I just think it could have been more interesting even though it's a thriller and not an action movie. I get covert but I don't get boring.
It's getting good reviews so someone must like this movie and maybe I expected more, I live in NY after all.
Anyway, the scenes were beautifully shot but you just didn't care about Damon, Angelina or anyne in the movie. So I just don't care to endorse seeing this film.
Worth the money: $$ 1/2
