Saw it last night. Good, not great. Reynolds was great.


I can understand some justified criticism towards this movie, mostly based on some plot holes (like visiting in prison scene), which is totally on writers of this film. Pacing is slow and then it felt rushed near the end.

However, this movie is quite solid. Not great, but pretty good. Acting from Ryan Reynolds was phenomenal, again, he has shown that he's great actor with quite a range. All of the cast did a good job. Atom Egoyan directed this very well.

This movie is 7/10... and transformed into IMDB rating (where people could be very subjective/childish when they hate/love something) it should be around 6.5/10

Of course, that's totally my humble opinion.
