A pretty good movie

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out and I had some rather high expectations. To be honest, I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. I mean, sure, I thought it was pretty good and Casey Affleck gave definitely a really good performance, resulting in his breakthrough. I don’t know, maybe the issue was that my expectations were too high before watching the damned thing but, in my opinion, the story was rather far-fetched like most of the other thrillers out there. Eventually, at the end of the day, it was basically decent and fairly entertaining, absolutely, but it was nothing really ground-breaking, at least, that’s my opinion. Still, I have to admit that it was really neat to see Ben Affleck, one of the most despised actors in the world at the time, making such an impressive come-back as a director and the guy definitely displayed some skills in this area. Eventually, he made afterwards ‘The Town’ and ‘Argo’, both critically praised, so his track-record as a director is pretty impressive so far. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really blow me away, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
