excellent - but too long and it just ran out of steam (mini spoiler)


i think this was a really good film and very believably acted. I also give full marks (almost) for an American film that showed that not all americans are rich with big houses and lots of cars! Ring a bell Roseanne Barr et al? i say almost because despite a british director, Hollywood just gotta have guns in their films(!) and it kinda drifted at the end in my humble opinion.

It was fine. Nothing an averages director couldn't do. Plus the script is pretty much a non issue.

Shia is fun to watch, but this is basically a film that tries to put you in the day to day dulldrums of a life less lived. It succeeds at that, but is that really a good film? I say not so much.

So are they a couple? Or are they done?

I think it's good, not great. At least 10-15 minutes could have been edited. Very good soundtrack. 7/10.
