Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

karah-saidi Cheesy. Lukewarm acting. Amateur script. Painful to watch and not even sure why we wasted the time to finish it. Metacritic score and reviews were spot on.

Incredulous The literature world sometimes has an awful manner of self-justifying itself beyond the obvious. People like to read. I get that. What they don't like, is to be told by a literati why it is they might choose to so do.So, on this basis, the film has an air of pretension about it. Beyond that, a stranger approaches you in a park one day and claims to be the true author of a book bearing your name, just published to wild acclaim. What would you do? I'll tell you what I would do: ask the person to prove their claim, otherwise stop scamming me. That is where this film should have ended or explored.

facesofine Loved it!!! Other than Olivia Wilde (miscast, I suppose, since I loved her in other movies), everyone acted beautifully, especially Ben Barnes, who brought his character to life, whose emotions need not be expressed in words but on his face. Without giving away the plot, there were enough twists to keep story interesting. Can't help but ponder these questions when end credits rolled. Don't listen to the naysayers. If you love to write, or are aspiring to, you've got to see this movie.If only I could write like that... better hit the typewriter, I mean, the computer.

jasondanielfair Loved the messages, pacing, scenery, and overall emotional content. But the plot was unnecessarily cumbersome with the story-within-a-story layering. The Dennis Quaid plot added nothing; it may have actually detracted by slowing things down and removing the immersion in the fuller story. It was also painfully obvious that the producers simply looked for opportunities to include pretty women, without giving them much else to do. This movie likely failed the Bechdel test, as a result. Saldana has some powerful scenes--but she's really doing far more than she should need to with the limitations of the role.
