Spotlight


How many times do we see a movie surface that tackles a controversial subject, claims to be historically accurate, pretentiously gives you just enough history for viewers to lie and say, "I remember that", along with loads of A List actors to bring in the bucks?  Well, the answer is, A Lot!  Don't this the viewer comments fool you, this one is no different.  Lucky for you, I will break it down for you in a simple paragraph.  First off, just because a movie regards a terrible uncovering in our history doesn't make it worth watching.  This one was extremely boring, touching on the subject but never really talking about the subject.  Yes, it was about the actual reporting, but what they were reporting about was almost completely lost.  As I stated, it was pretentious and pushed to make you think it was a much more important movie than it was.  The actors, although good, had not so good roles.  Liev Schreiber was possibly the most uncomfortable cast member in history.  Keaton is good as always but take the serious stance a little too, serious.  As much as I want to like Ruffalo, I just cant.   I came to the conclusion that this was like watching regular people at work.  The only reason I would suggest this movie is to get your fix on all of the Oscar Nods, otherwise, forget it.  Everyone else will, soon!

FYI:   6 of the main actors have played in recent superhero movies
