Good actors, bad casting, terrible movie


When I fast forward a movie during its "twist", I know I'm not going to give it a good rate.
Each actors are good actors...in other movies.
Dialogs are poor, story is weak...
Why is she freaking out when she sees her brother's daughter?? Did I miss something ?
The twist isn't one.
I mean everything in this movie is wrong. Especially the cast which absolutely doesn't work, none of the character is convincing, not even Charlize theron, with a special mention for the grown up brother who doesn't remind us at all of the teenager brother.
Maybe it could have been a good movie with a different director...

Amy Adams was supposed to be cast in the Charlie role. She would have played hardened much better.

The problem of this film is script. Bad script. Seems they didn't know what they want to do. A crime or a drama movie.
