But it is a well acted film and very watchable, i was not crazy about the ending. Not that everything has to be played out in films, or certainly not always expecting a happy ending, but in this case it did leave my wife and I a bit wanting another outcome. A bit of a mixed review i suppose, but very well acted film.
Agreed on all counts. Affleck is my favorite actor in Hollywood (an opinion that I share w/ nobody it seems lol)

Has a sequel written all over it, imo.
