This movie is dull and extraordinarily disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high. Deakins cinematography is the only reason this film is somewhat watchable. I can't fathom what awards season saw in this. Academy Awards once again has proven to be about releasing your film in December, regardless of its quality. This movie is not worthy of the accolades it is receiving. The main character stumbles into the end result the same way he stumbled through every challenge in this film. The most compelling characters are the A-listers that sneak themselves in and command every scene away from our protagonist. Highly disappointed in making time to see this in theaters.
