Ha! I wonder if that's because it was a successful play? Stage values can come off as inferior on the screen. Or was it just too syrupy?

Talk about a mixed bag. It wasn't bad overall, just lumpy.
First, if Russell meant to mimic Scorcese sans violence, he was successful. Not sure why he would, but whatever.
Christian Bale was great. Jennifer Lawrence was miscast, appearing like a teenager dressing up as an adult. Amy Adams was fine, and so was Renner, but also miscast. Bradley Cooper is an actor with limitations, I hesitate to say mediocre.
The highlight for me was seeing DeNiro briefly deliver a vintage performance, one I haven't seen him do in decades.

when I see someone in a survival situation and they get on my nerves and do stupid shit then I pretty much start rooting for them to die.
