I saw it in the sneak preview yesterday, these are my thoughts: A boy is being released from prison at 18 after serving a few years for brutally killing his parents. A girl is completely fixated by him and goes to look him up... This probably were the 90 longest minutes I`ve experencied in the past few years. At first I thought that the slow pacing of the film would go and the speed would go up after a while, if it only was to make just one little bit more exciting. But no. The whole 90 minutes long there isn`t one thing that happens that is exciting. Extremely bad acting (why Russel Crowe and Laura Dern choose to do this is a big mistery), a director who thinks that he`s visually inventive while actually the only thing his visual language does is irritate, a way too low pace and no excting at all make this into a film without a direction or intention and in wich you`re happy when the redicoulous ending is over and the credits pass the screen. That is the most exciting and intense part of this so-called "movie". 2,0/10
