waste of time and money

A film with little to recommend it. Chintzy cinematography (fake "water" surrounding the "ferry" in the opening scene. Failed attempt by DiCaprio to approximate a "Boston" accent. Dialogue uniformly stilted, e.g. Ruffalo and DiCaprio take shelter in an above-ground crypt during a storm and the former questions the latter about his war-time experiences as if he was commenting on the weather. Ditto the exchange between Clarkson and DiCaprio in the cave. The contrast between ghoulish special effects and the gritty realism of the story was clumsy and amateurish. I expect better of Scorcese.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
