Well, I can see why this movie didn't make any money.

It is extremely boring. And it is Hollywood to the point that several times in the movie, I found myself snorting when characters did things that I knew to be completely unrealistic, yet it was presented as a rational choice.

I didn't care about the characters. And I actually didn't feel any suspense. It was more like "yeah, this guy is about to get blown up." And "yeah, there will be an explosion here, but this guy won't be killed."

I'm dumbfounded that it won "Best Picture." I guess I'm out to lunch and can't see the genius of it.
