Clooney was excellent as always and newcomer Anna Kendrick was outstanding. The film was well produced, well cast and well acted however, there was NOTHING enjoyable about the story. The subject matter is far too depressing in the midst of the current economic crisis. I go to the movies to feel good and entertained. I felt anxious and depressed when the movie ended.
On a scale of 1 - 10 of how enjoyable the movie experience was I would have to give it a zero. While the movie was well done from every perspective the subject matter was just too depressing to be considered entertainment.
