Chastain is excellent. Oscar Isaac had to be better to convince us of his stubborness, but fails. One gets tired of expecting the violence. Film gets better in Isaac and Chastain home.

A good movie

“Not to be confused with ‘A Most Wanted Man’ which was released the very same year, this movie was the 3rd directing effort delivered by J.C. Chandor and since I really liked ‘All Is Lost’ and even loved ‘Margin Call’, I was really eager to check it out. Well, eventually, even though I did like the damned thing, I’m afraid it was still his least convincing movie so far. In fact, it was actually not bad at all, the directing was solid with a nice realistic and gritty approach and the actors involved delivered some decent performances, especially Oscar Isaacs and Jessica Chastain.
