An average movie

Right now, I have seen all the movies starring Edward Norton and there was a time when I seriously believed that he was one of the best actors in the world. Unfortunately, the guy kept making some rather dubious choices and, nowadays, I believe he might be an interesting actor but definitely not the best around. This movie is a fine example showing the average quality of his career. I mean, it was not bad at all, I did like the directing, the beginning was especially strong, and they managed to create a nice mood. Edward Norton delivered as usual a solid performance and he had some nice chemistry with Colin Farrell who was pretty good as well. Unfortunately, the story was not really strong, I’m afraid. I mean, it was watchable but I have seen this kind of story too many times before so it wasn't original at all and it was even rather predictable. Furthermore, it was just too long, too confusing and there were a few unnecessary sub-plots as well. To conclude, it’s too bad because the whole thing had some potential but, in spite of its flaws,  it was still a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
