36. "acting was great but the movie sucked otherwise" In response to In response to 0
The movie could have been 1hr 35min and been much more effective. The storyline got way too convoluted with all the love triangles and everyone trying to con each other with some cons being better described than others. Like when Irving gets out of being killed by the mobster, the con was just unbelievable and the way it was resolved was not believable either. Jennifer Lawrence shouldn't have been in this movie btw, it was so obviously her hamming it up for the camera with her weak fake NY accent.
As someone else said it suffered from pacing problems, over how many months/years did this shit happen? that could have helped.
