Detachment 2011
A potentially great film marred by poor directorial choices and a hit-and-miss script. While I appreciate the deliberately bleak and depressing atmosphere, I can't excuse the amateurish writing.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Oh Prometheus, I had so much hope for you. I kept my hopes up even amongst the so-so reviews and general disappointment coming from Europe, but in the end, I have to agree. That's not to say I disliked Prometheus, but, like so much of Scott's recent output, Prometheus was a great idea with great technical achievement and poor execution. But let's start with the positive:
+Fantastic cast with standout performances from Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender. There weren't any…
