Affleck is a good director but he's overrated
Everybody thought this would be a masterpiece, given the fact that Affleck is considered a great director. He is, but the media and his fans turned him into the new Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood. I think that he's got the potential, but he's not at the level of Mel or Clint. I think that even Clint is often overpraised, because he's made some stinkers. The only actor-director who never made a bad film is Mel Gibson. Affleck is good with thrillers and dramas. This period setting doesn't seem to fit his style. I hope I'm wrong, but the expectations are way too high for this film.
