It has to be said above all else that you must have great patience in watching this movie. I find that this is the kind of movie that most people these days won't enjoy because it's slow, long, and very much character based. There's no great action or old-fashioned western shoot-em-up's. I found the movie, personally, to be rather divine. There's a very dream-like quality to the filming and there are so many quiet moments. It's incredibly intense and both Pitt and Affleck's characters are at times creepy, and other times rather serene. Sometimes, it felt very much like a painting that you find yourself staring out for hours, fascinated, without ever really knowing why.
