I was looking forward to this. All that critical praise, dem actors!
I must admit, I didn't quite get what this movie was supposed to be. It has some comedic elements, some crime elements, and a lot of.. drama, I guess.
I thought I was getting a clever heist-movie or something, and it kind of is, but the payoff comes so late, and it's not very satisfying.
The acting is top notch, pretty much all over, but that's not enough. Plus, some, well at least one of the characters is really annoying.
I'm a guy, so yeah, I couldn't help but notice the female eye candy. Neither Jennifer Lawrence or Amy Adams are ugly, that's for sure. As for the ladies, not that much eye candy for you in this one, I'm afraid. But human eye candy does not a great film make, so I'd say this is way overrated.
Might be one of those movies you should see twice to appreciate. Or maybe know exactly what you're getting, before you watch it. But I doubt I will see it again, so I might never find out.
