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.

Do we know if another book was written? Same lady who wrote the book, also wrote the screenplay. In terms of Ben, he's very talented there's no doubt. Not sure about him as Batman coming up lol, but a talented actor, writer, and director. A trifecta threat lol.

Bout 10 years ago or so my son (also a movie buff) and I declared Affleck, we called him afflicted

and McConaughey two of the worst actors in the biz..last 5 years or so we turned that around to top 5

I love Affleck. I prefer Gosling and Dicaprio though.
We should spoiler alert this because I know how the movie should have ended.....

Great movie with a weak ending.
