Was not surprised to hear others in the theater trying to figure out the plot.
Great cast but a long, drawn-out plot. Kept hoping the movie would build into some sort of crescendo but it flat-lined.
I actually thought the plot was intriguing. Hard to figure out at times, lots of twists and turns, but I thought it was quite an interesting movie. Fireboy didn't like it though.

I did think it was extremely well acted.

Did you see it at Brownwood? Isn't that a great theater? I just can't stop raving about the theater.
