Well it looks as though I won't get to see this film as I can't find it on any of my local cinema listings for Vue or the Odeon. :mad: Was really looking forward to it aswell.

However, it's on about 30 miles away. Chuffed I am not.

Anyone seen it? I really wanted to see it :cry:
 
I saw it last year too, so worth watching. Can you not make a day out of it Scooby, if it's too far away just for the cinema, maybe you could spend the day doing other things in that area and then see the film to make it worth the trip? or is it you just can't get there?

It is out on region 1 dvd I believe, if you can get it?
 
Presumably it was held back because the distributor thought people wouldn't want to see it whilst the McCann case was still in their minRAB.

From what I've read it's based on a book Dennis Lehane wrote three years before he wrote Mystic River and it's not in the same league as that book/film.
 
i saw this last Monday night i thought it was fantastic. don't go in to in knowing too much as i was genuinely surprised by some of the twists. its one of those films that you watch with a knot in your stomache.

and casey affleck is great i think (its v well directed by his brother too)

i preferred it to mystic river which i found a bit portentous and OTT
 
Good film, and really not like the McCann case at all.

But be warned there is some serious swearing in this film, including the c-word.

Also be warned there are some seriously ugly people in it too (not Casey Affleck, he's lovely).
 
Where did you see it?

The cinema I saw it at had the most stupidly designed seating arrangement I've ever seen. The steps were down the centre - where the best seats should be!
 
Sorry, I don't understand.

Anyway, thanks for the replies. I am off work next week so I may take a trip to Cheshire Oaks, great Vue cinema there & not to mention, cheap shopping :o

I loved Mystic River, so hopefully, I'll enjoy this. Generally, if I know I want to see a film, I stay away from anything concerning it & what I love doing the most is watching the film & then reading the reviews, I subscribe to Empire so I keep them all for a couple of months & read up on it afterwarRAB :o sad I know!!
 
Every cinema I've ever been to has steps down the middle... :confused:

Am thinking of seeing this film too, seems to have had a lot of good reviews
 
Really looking forward to seeing this, as I was blown away by Casey Affleck in The Assassination....

I'm home from uni for the summer, and was worried that my local cinema wasn't going to show it, as it only has a big screen and then a small 25 seater. But it turns out we're getting it for a week beginning 20 June - way hey!!!!!
 
There was an interview with Ben Affleck on the BBC News at Six the other week, and he was asked about delaying it. Then the women asked whether it wasn't still inappropriate, since Madaline McCann still hadn't been found. I suppose that she thinks that we should never make an film or TV about anything, as it may have happened in the past.
 
I completely agree, my point is that the distributor would have weighed up the pros and cons of opening a film about the abduction of a young girl whilst the McCann case was in the news and made a commercial decision on that basis.

They've now had to open it in June, when the weather's warm and the days are long and it could be that the film won't do as well as it could have if it had been released last winter. Then again, there aren't a lot of great films around at the moment so perhaps it will benefit from the lack of competition.
