Important character development between De Niro and Franco is muddled by silly supporting performances from Forsythe and the entire police department. McDormand is solid of course.

DiNiro and McDormand are excellent. But the movie is poorly written, long winded and not even competitive with daytime soap operas. What a waste of academy award performers.

This movie is sunk by an overdose of dramatic irony. (I'm talking about all this past-repeating-itself nonsense that gives De Niro's character a shot at redemption. It's so movie-fake; only a screenwriter could've thought it up.) It all comes to a head in an embarrassing finale in which a blubbering De Niro rambles on about all the movie's themes. Almost nothing is told visually.
