I knew this might be doomed when I saw so many incredible people in this cast because that always seems too good to be true. I was right. This movie was really boring. I had a hard time sitting through it but I kept holding out hope it would get better. It never really delivered. Christian Bale is amazing as always. I have no complaints about the casting or acting. They all were incredible and I wanted it to be great over all. The cinematography captured the time period and was beautiful. I think it was the script and the direction. It was hard to follow and maybe there was too much dialogue? It's one of those movies that I can't quite put my finger on what was wrong but it just didn't come together. Don't waste 2 hours of your life in the theatre.
