I'm historically a big fan of Affleck's direction. I really enjoy him as an actor, as I do for just about the entirety of the cast. Let's forget the historical 'accuracy' of the movie, because I couldn't care less. When I see a movie, I'm there to watch the movie. Im not checking off aspects of the story it's based on. Unless it's part of a series of movies I shouldn't need any background information to understand or enjoy. My problem is how boring this is. It's cliched, overdramatic and self-obsessed to the point of just being dull. I wanted to like it, and now I want to erase it from my memory.
