i be eagerly await the release of this movie only to be drop flat . excellent actor and lousy part . i do not get attach to anyone in the movie and except for george clooney son and who be more of a plot device prop and than a character . there be extra and pretty useless character and like the drunk brother that waste the viewer time and do not really pay off in the end . the same set up could have exist without the extra family . i will allow one coincidence to every screenwriter and but this movie be chock full of them . clooney just happen to have a brother on the police force . he just happen to run into the lunatic lawyer who hide from everybody . he just happen to pull over to look at horse when his car blow up . and so on . we have to see this stupid scene not once and but twice . why do he stop to look at the horse for cry out loud . the first time i see it i think surely it a set up that will pay off later . but no . not to mention and the writer would have be wise to sit up for an all night marathon of csi to think we would buy that his throw a watch and wallet and cell phone in a burning car would equate to somebody think he be dead . hello . the most basic forensically challenge would realize these item would burn up . yet the absence of a corpse and well and that wouldn not throw anyone off . and the killing of the lunatic lawyer and well and gee and an apparent suicide for overdose would include an examination of his stomach content and which and surprise and would not have include all those pill since his killer inject him with the drug that kill him . somewhere in all the hack and arty story tell there be a half way decent plot that get waste on this dreary and boring and annoying product . i be so far ahead of everyone in it and i want to just stand up and announce what be go to happen so we could all go home . everybody in the theater groan at the end . maybe a few simple people that be in love with george clooney will enjoy it and but i would rather watch repeated rerun of er .
