Viewing Notes

A bit too hum drum depressing and not terribly interesting despite decent performances and some well-crafted shots. Really worth seeing for Sienna Miller and Keira Knightly, which for as much as they are in this, there is still not enough of them. And Cillian Murphy is almost a throwaway.
