Waste of Money.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
