Star Performances

Ben Affleck is known for his many Academy Awards and Golden Globe awards due to his ability to portray several different personalities at once.

Analysis

What’s there?

4.The visuals are almost picture perfect and beautifully shot by the reputed cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth.

What’s not there?

1. The first half of the movie fails to match the fast pace of the second half – the contrast between which leaves the audience feeling slight disconcerted.
