It said "crime" "drama" ...I hate bad movies that creators think it
s not. The acting was horrible from Brody to Affleck. Please someone tell me it was a parody?

I remember asking myself if it was some sort of parody and I just didn't get it. No...it was just a really bad film with terrible acting.
Baba-Booey to you all!
Wow. Could you be more wrong? - mbnx01 11:56:31 09/04/11 (10)
This is an outstanding movie with excellent performances all around.

Ben Afleck (and I'm not a fan) was perfect in this.

This was a smart, original movie.

- Excellent film, best American one of that year. Affleck was Oscar-worthy. nt - tinear 13:13:58 09/04/11 (4)

    The film's most important achievement is in not being offensive, otherwise it is, while watchable, rather pale.
    
    But Ben's performance is nothing but boring and uninspiring. Typical of that bad actor.

    Affleck should have won the Oscar for this performance.
    
    Between this movie and his direction of 'Gone Baby Gone' and 'The Town' no one can deny he's a big talent. He's earned some respect.

    - Agreed, Ben is a talent.....even in "Pearl Harbor" when he put that cap on..... - mr grits 21:17:05 09/04/11 (0)
      he looked like "Captain America"....the perfect idealized stereotype.
    - He's well-respected in Europe. Here, Portman is considered a great talent. nt - tinear 16:51:53 09/04/11 (0)
