Average plot, Average movie with well above average Actors.

This is probably what makes the movie watchable. The movie seems like an incredible waste of the highly talented actors they were able to get to make it. It makes me wonder if these actors made this to fulfill a contract obligation with the studio. Nothing else makes sense. Hugh Jackman, Maria Bello, Jake Gyllenhaal, Terence Howard, Paul Dano, Mellisa Leo, and Viola Davis.

If this group of actors had a good script, well, it boggles the mind what they would be able to do with it. They took this ordinary fare and turned it into a moderately entertaining movie. Huzzah!!
