Rare Times in Charlestown

On very rare occasions to i trash a movie after seeing it.
I try to never see movies that i feel will be below the "6/10" scale.
But this particular movie did exactly that. It was hyped by a lot of people. And i was looking forward to watching this 'gem'. Yet after seeing it i want my hundred and twenty minutes of life back!

The action itself was good, i guess. The plot and story as cheesy and unbelievable as ________ . Have to admit they did pull of a great cast, but so did the people that made The Expendables.

Maybe it is simply not my cup of a tea movie.
Maybe its too hollywoodish for my taste.
Maybe Ben Affleck did it just to bury his sins with some girl he knows in real life.
Maybe i am being too honest and harsh.

Not Sure. Yes. Yes. Maybe. No.



Official Zhukowski Rating: 5.9/10 bananas



Do NOT read anything below (as usual) if you are planning on still seeing this movie
