Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers mastered the American accent surprisingly well. Interesting plot that sucks the viewer in. The plot messed with my head through the ending. Even when the screen cut to black before final credits, I was expecting another twist. If you are a fan of Criminal Minds or How to Get Away With Murder, you'll enjoy this movie.

When you had good actors and pretty good story, its hard to make mistake, but director of this movie was managed it. I m not sure what is the worst, directing or editing? I had a feeling the director and the editor were in some argue when they making the movie. So, when I saw reviews from other users I cant believe that was the same movie. Conclusion is: You can freely skip this movie. :(

The most fun part of this movie was that Banderas was really really good in it! Perhaps I'll have to go back and see if his track record was as bad as I'd pegged it in my head...And that's really the point, isn't it? What's in your head? Who knows.. only you! I like to skim the reviews of lower rated movies (4.5 - 6 )to see if the sheep of the world just have some weird hangup with a movie and I guess this is one - no idea why it has a low rating (6.1 at this writing) but I gave it an 8 and if I coulda gone 8.5 I would have! Enjoy.

This is really two movies crammed into one movie. The first part is about 1hour and 33 minutes long. #2 is about 15 seconds long. At the end. The very end. Movie #1 is pretty good. Not great, but good acting overall, good set design, pretty good script. #1 occasionally dragged for a couple minutes at a time but then something interesting would happen (usually Meyers). Banderas was excellent as the boozing going- down-the-drain writer. The ending of Movie #1 fit the picture and made sense in an adult way. I would rate Movie#1 at about 6.5. Movie #2. You have got to be kidding me. Who let this stupid idea into an otherwise acceptable piece of work. Any editor worth their salt would have snipped this ridiculous and viewer-insulting little bit of crap out of the movie without telling anybody. Fortunately #2 only lasts about ten or fifteen seconds at the very end of the movie so if you're fast on the draw you can save yourself. If Movie#2 remains part of Movie#1 I'd drop my rating to 4. And I'm being generous here as #2 really ruined an otherwise interesting film. Combined rating is a 5. And they should consider themselves lucky to get it too.
