Since I really loved ‘Chopper’ and since this movie was very well received, I was really eager to check it out and I had some really high expectations about the damned thing. Well, first of all, it was really a gorgeous movie and if only for this you should watch it. Then, Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck both gave some really good perfomances. So, I really liked this movie but, to be honest, it  didn't really blow me though. Why? First of all, the whole thing was rather long (2 h 30 min) and I have heard that the original version was even 4 hours! In fact, the running time was not really an issue but the main problem was more that nothing much really happened during this movie. I mean, they robbed a train at the beginning and that was it. After that, you just see them going somewhere, you don't know exactly where they go or why they go there but it didn't really matter. So, they get together and sometimes they eat. And of course, they speak to each other but they never have some straight dialogues and, instead, they always speak in riddles or stories... Fortunately, you do have a voice-over explaining from time to time what was going on and what the characters were thinking... Anyway, as a result, I can’t say it was really amazed by this tale though. To conclude, even though it didn't completely worked for me, it was still a decent watch and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
