Films I've Seen in 2017 (January) (25 movies items)"When: January 25th First-Time Viewing: Yes. How: In theaters. What'd I Think?: Some well directed scenes, but lacks coherent vision. My Rating: 5/10 Other Notes: NA."
2016 Films Ranked (170 movies items)"Ben Affleck shows some skill behind the camera, with good action sequences, and some fine ideas, but as a complete film, it lacks both cohesion, and even a point in some cases, meaning this film will easily get lost in a sea of much better gangster films. 5.4/10"
