Things We Lost in the Fire

Granted, I haven't finished watching the movie yet, but it's awful. I read this script at an internship and really liked it. Alan Loeb was the hottest screenwriter in Hollywood for a little while because of it. But casting Halle Barry made no sense whatsoever. And then the movie is structured completely different than the script in an attempt to confuse the audience and rid the film of any meaningful tension. There are still good parts between Benicio and David D, but they spoil the 1st act by revealing the death before we even meet the character. God, what stupid choices by the filmmaker. I think the director's cut must have been super bad and some dumbass studio executive decided to take over and try to spice it up and made it even worse. Nothing is tackier than senseless non-linearity.
