An excellent movie with a fabulous cast! Acting was superb, as usual, Ryan Gosling was incredible.
Anyone who claims "this is a slow movie" is someone who hasn't the ability to think beyond a car chase.
This was a horrible movie, slow, boring and second only to "The American " Starring George Clooney. I wish i had gone to get my money back
Contrary to the 2nd last review this excellent movie is about more than 2 families. It is about each and every character who plays a part in the movie. It's about the corruption we all participate in for our own gain throughout each of our lives. Police are corrupt, regular folks are corrupt to whatever small degree benefits them. Successful public officials, lawyers and judges are corrupt; and on it goes. Not a simple plot intended fir simple people.
A must see for all folks over 30.
If you believe that this is an action movie based solely on bank robberies you will be disappointed. The movie is more about two families and how they cope with events in their lives. I thought the movie was mildly entertaining however I would have rather waited until the movie was released on TMN or DVD and saved my money.
5/5 Stars ! Best movie of 2013 thus far. Great story line and character development. Absolutely flawless acting. Academy Award worthy. Go see it.
Wow, such a rare occurence these days, a movie with a really good story!!!!! Excellent acting by everyone. Go see it.
One of the worst movies I have seen in ages. I do not recommend this movie to anyone, even though both Cooper and Gosling are great actors. This movie had great potential but was put together horribly and turned out to me 3 short movies in one, although I don't think this was intentional. It dragged on and on to the point where I was happiest at the end when I could go home.
most boring movie, I've been to wanted to cry when i realized it was going to last even longer than two hours, love the actors but not in this movie
