Review
Good casting but somehow this movie falls short from quite a few things including acting.I don't know why but Joaquin Phoenix kinda, like overacted which is rather surprising. The first scene which I find totally unnecessary was a sex scene with Eva Mendes and Joaquin.And yes you get to see her boobs and all.
Even though Eva has a great body and all, she cannot act to save her life. Totally fucked up acting. She should really be in latino porn instead. Robert Duvall was pretty ok in this movie. Wahlberg was like just being in departed all over again. There were moments I thought at any time he would take his shirt off, break into a dance and sing his song "good vibrations". The cinematography and editing was pretty decent. Storyline was abit boring and I kinda feel they rushed the ending quite abit. Not worth watching in the cinema on a weekend. Worth watching on a lazy sunday. Just rent the dvd or something.
