Not gonna lie its a little hard to root for O. Russel...but he seems to get actors to return and not denying the level of talent involved. His actions in the past still leave a dark cloud over his accomplishments. Not one I'm willing to ignore either.

Seems like a good comeback for Aronofsky after two films I consider misses. Still a huge fan of Black Swan, The Wrestler and The Fountain. This seems to be more complimentary of his style.

I wrote two or three paragraphs on the film and no one reacted to that

Don't take it personally no one responds to anything on here anymore.
