I was absolutely astonished at how dreadful this film was. This movie was so convoluted. It was such a complete mess. The writing was terrible. The direction was like something that a first year film school student would put together. Although Tom Hardy is a great actor, he just didn't have much to work with as he was sort of bumbling through the entire movie. And bumbling is probably the best description for the entire production. There is no reason why this could could not have been an entertaining story. But the film makers appeared to have gone out of their way to sabotage everything that they touched. Other than the production, which was great. And the ending was one of the most ridiculous and also truly fictitious endings I've seen in a very, very long time. It was as if this director thought he was one of the Mexican magical realist director's. And fancied himself to be substantially above his pay grade. The producers should have invested in a qualified director. They definitely didn't. And this film was an epic failure on every level.
