Look, if you're reading this on IMDb, chances are you're a) a huge Ridley Scott fan and b) wondering if you should see this low-rated movie with the high powered actors.
Here's the deal. As with most nebulous soul-searching dramas that come out now days, this movie is underrated. It is packed with powerful acting and social commentary on the things that drive people in modern America.
However... this movie is bleak. I mean, REALLY bleak. If you need plots that resolve and/or result in some kind of uplift, this is not the movie for you. This movie could easily be titled "Downward spirals and the rare few who profit from them."
If you like hardcore dramas which are character driven and not wrapped up pleasantly, you will really like this movie. It is not without its flaws, but Fassbender and Pitt are amazing. Be warned that it is not a show stopper, but well worth a rent if this is your bag.
If you're expecting something with a compelling story and/or a good popcorn movie, stay the hell away from this film. It is legit depressing.
