[quote=Anonymous]Watched this last night after looking forward to it for a long time. I was very disappointed. Perhaps I should say upfront that I read the book and there's always that "But it wasn't like the book" letdown. But DH was not impressed either. Yes, the topic is important and it has "IMPORTANT MOVIE" all over it. I just felt that it was melodramatic, at times gothic in its melodrama. The female characters were one-dimensional and even unintentionally funny. The Epps really needed to be hauled away to the insane asylum, both of them. The Benedict Cumberbatch owner was off, course "the good owner." Brad Pitt saves the day, and sounded like he was on set for 20 minutes reading his lines from a teleprompter. The two leads had great performances but I felt the material they had to work with script wise just was not strong enough. Plot, script -- all could have been much more nuanced. [/quote]
