Even though I grew somewhat tired of being beaten over the head with the political commentary, I (somewhat) enjoyed this movie from director Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford). Solid performances by Scoot McNairy, Ray Liotta and James Gandolfini helped to support the captain of this ship, Brad Pitt, who was incredibly restrained and economical with his performance. I saw this two days ago and can't think of much that will stay with me for a long period of time with the exception of two scenes:
- the robbery scene, which proceeded in a way that I was not expecting at all
- it was from this scene, which occurs within the first ten minutes of the film, that I was completely invested in the story
- the slow motion beating/killing/car crash scene was pretty unique
