Both of us thought it was quite overrated and actually boring so you're not alone in your opinion.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-48180081289804003642016-11-15T23:24:09.663-08:002016-11-15T23:24:09.663-08:00Relating to your final sentence, Blobby, I didn...Relating to your final sentence, Blobby, I didn't say so above but I did think that both Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner gave curiously underpowered performances, the former displaying inadequate emotion despite the prospect of her turning out to be humanity's saviour - such an unsatisfactory act after seeing her in yesterday's 'Nocturnal Animals' where her unspoken enigmatic attitude was far better suited.<br /><br />I'm not sure too about praising the editing, if that includes the inter-cutting of Adams' talking to her infuriatingly prescient daughter, which only left me to reflect "Aw, come off it!"Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-9211522991859315752016-11-15T23:14:40.346-08:002016-11-15T23:14:40.346-08:00I'd hate to have put you off, J.G.

You could well fall in with most critics who see this as a fine cinematic experience - and if you do it won't affect my stratospheric opinion of you in the slightest. So I hope that you still do manage to see it.<br /><br />And I've just had a look at your blog - and 'enjoyed' (as per instruction).Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-77969808358557565432016-11-15T19:31:33.159-08:002016-11-15T19:31:33.159-08:00You're not far off.

Two B-list stars (C?) can only do so much.
