Well, i normaly will not spend more than 20 minutes watching a movie/tv episode, if it has not yet Drawn me in, but due to the high rating and Paul Giamatti, i stuck with it, hoping it would "start up" at some point, but it never did, it just meandered along without ANY real connection from myself, nothing about it engaged me at all.
It is lacking throughout and not just in parts, there was nothing to "draw you in", nor FEEL concern for anything going on, or any character.
Paul played his part Completely as always, a real quality actor, but even he cannot inspire any real engagement with this movie.
I would not pan it, nor guide people away from it, but i am bewildered at the very high rating, over 9 i think when i first looked, now at 8.2 and i expect it will drop further as we get more legitimate ratings from more viewers.
It is simply NOT agreat movie at all, which c ertainly a 9 would indicate. If i were to be negative, i'd say it was more like a couple of episodes of a so so TV series and NOT a great movie.
I think most watching shall be waiting for it to "take off" as i did, which it will not, and when the more realistic rating of around 6 settles in, people won't have such high expectations.
Possibly if some dark humour had been injected into it, may have helped, but as it is, it's fairly uneventful, lacking humour, or anything to really engage the viewer.
