for me the main problem is ben.or ben's character in the movie.he's got this bored look on his face.and he does not succeed in making us like him..somehow.or care of what will happen to him in the end.isn't that the point?to be charmed in a way.on the bright side,both actresses are charming without trying,sienna and zoe.other than that ,i read some reviews talking about a bomb.i don't agree.it's an expensive production,well directed,acceptable acting,nice action scenes.maybe the script needed a little spice.a little more of a human condition.enough to care.it's too much matter-of-fact about how the mob business must be run.i mean who cares.we need a little faster editing,suspense scenes with characters to care.we need the suspense of argo,and the darkness of gone baby gone.i am surprised because ben's first love i think is screenplay.what happened there?still nicely watched but you forget it once you leave the theater.
