From the name of it, this film was not what I expected it to be, but I still liked it. The subtlety, the message, the gloom, and the characters is what made me like this film so much. Though this film might not get rave reviews from major critics and the media it was still a good piece of work. Without a lot of action, which I love in a film, this story was written well enough to keep the viewer interested for 2 hours. The main characters, or who I considered to be the main characters, in this film were great in the rolls they played. Jessica Chastain, Oscar Isaac, and David Oyelowo were the perfect actors to play those particular parts in this film. I don't think it would have been the same without them. J.C. Chandor, who hasn't directed a lot and I haven't seen any of his other work, did a nice job in directing this film. He put everything together just right to make it what it is.
