Well unfortunately for movie fans everywhere this was a total let down. GREAT subject matter, outstanding cast (with one MAJOR exception) and beautifully shot. But thanks to Shia LaCrappy this movie went in the toilet.
I love that Robert Redford is making hard hitting movies in the last few years. He is daring to go where no one else is right now and saying it exactly as he sees it. But Shia’s smug facial expression throughout the movie and his desire to mug for the camera just ruined this movie. Also sitting next to two, old, racist ladies that were talking about President Obama and the first lady like they were lawn trash before the movie and then made noise THROUGH THE WHOLE MOVIE, kinda ruined it too.
Mr. Redford, I love the idea of this movie. I LOVED everyone EXCEPT SHIA in this movie and I blame you for that. You were the director. WHY would you make him just unwatchable. I get that I am not supposed to like his character. But now I think I may never want to see him in another movie.
