No offense meant but Paul Dano makes the move unwatchable. His character is trite and cliché, perhaps offensively so. But even worse is the actor himself. I mean... could they have picked more of a dolt? At least get a bloody haircut. And the fact that he types on a typewriter... seriously, how contrived. All the Catcher in the Rye/Sallinger references, spare me.
It's actually one of the worst movies I could imagine. All the characters are cardboard, nothing is thought-out or original or inspiring. His brother is almost as clichéd as the protagonist. I mean really, the more I think about the more I hate it.
But Paul Dano may still be the worst thing about the movie. I mean couldn't they afford Michael Cera? Don't watch this, please don't. If you're looking for something to watch, just keep rewatching the scenes in Prisoners where Hugh Jackman tortures Paul Dano. Please don't watch this.
