I was expecting a story about whistleblowers and corporate intrigue. Instead, I got a flick that literally made me nauseus. I lasted about 10-15 minutes, and that’s only because I was trapped at the end of a row against the wall. Otherwise, I would have left earlier.
It makes me sad that our culture has been coarsened to this filth. There is better entertainment out there. Trouble is — I’d already seen those movies. Currently in theatres around here: The Book Thief — excellent; Philomena — outstanding; The Christmas Candle — OK, a little silly; Saving Mr. Banks — outstanding.
It is a story about whistleblowers and corporate intrigue, with LOTS of profanity and other excessive behavior because that’s what the people involved in the real story did and that’s how Martin likes to make movies.
See that list you put together for me would rate as boring, boring, saccharine crap, and boring sanitized version of what’s actually an interesting story. You could have seen Walter Mitty, that seems to be up your alley. There’s always options in the world, you made an uninformed decision.
