Couldn't find a thread on this.

GF and I picked this up at a Redbox last night. It was good to very good. Awesome performances by Jude Law and Rooney Mara. Catherine Zeta Jones was kind of terrible in it I thought, but great to look at as always. Visually gorgeous movie with a solid story.

Definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Caught in the theater a while back, great movie, really enjoyed it.

couldn't disagree more. this movie went in so many directions it never found a focus or a real character to lean on to drive the story. on the one hand it seems like it's going to be an indictment on overprescribing drugs and how drug companies take advantage of people. then it tries to be a movie about double crossing. and it was really desperation time at the screenplay factory when the lesbian angle was thrown in. this movie wanted to be about so many things it wound up being about absolutely nothing. this movie felt like it was never going to end because it kept coming up with subplots to resolve. and the last scene was groan inducing.

and before you use the "but you liked 'after earth'!" argument, SG, that movie at least was aware enough of its lowered expectations and ambitions that all it needed to do was see itself through and it did so. this movie was throwing effort into an empty well. its first mistake was paying off the first scene far too early in the movie.
