Very good story, great production, A for effort, but the rest is just so so. George Clooney directing this was a terrible choice. The man in bland and ordinary like your most average 50-something male and it shows throughout the entire movie. The "love" scenes are so transactional and non moving. They're just... there. Because someone told them they needed them. Not really relevant to the story whatsoever. I mean, can you imagine a main character without a love interest?? I know, right! It's never been done before... lol
The acting - so so. Not bad but absolutely average through and through. I think after 4 months of training these boys were too exhausted to act. I know I would be!
Of course the production, the scenery, the editing, and all that stuff was on point. But this movie lacked "heart". It's a shame because it could have been something special but making the main character a sad, quiet, slow, and emotionless human was not a good idea. Who would have thought!
