Director: James Vanderbilt
Starring: Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Topher Grace
Release: October 16th, 2015
I’m torn between loving Cate Blanchett and hating Topher Grace. And really, that’s a good analogy for my mixed feelings towards this film. Blanchett represents that parts I like: realism, raw emotion, depth beneath the surface. And Grace becomes the epitome of what I don’t want: Hollywood, cheap ploys, standard lines. Ultimately, does this film become a great character portrayal or a throwaway thriller?
