I went into the movie expecting just this. However, after enjoying the movie thoroughly, I now think that maybe the only person in Hollywood that knows how to direct Ben Affleck is Ben Affleck. I had no respect for him at all as an actor until I saw this film. However, in this film, he did a fine job. Nothing that should single him out for acting award honors, but he didn't ruin it and that surprised the hell out of me.

The wife and I will probably go see this tonight.
And I have to disagree with DJ's left nut. Affleck is pretty good, but he's a supporting actor, not a lead. Kinda like Kevin Bacon. |

With a few more strong releases, the notion that Affleck "can't act" will be long forgotten. |

Kudos to Affleck for being able to successfully move on from the hearthrob/Tabloid/JLo phase of his career.

He's a very good actor in the right roles. His bad rap as an actor had more to do with "sum of all fears", "daredevil", and as you pointed out "gigli" back to back to back. He doesn't need to do lame action movies like Shia Laboof.

Ben Affleck as Antonio Mendez, lol. I like the premise though and will no doubt see it.

I wonder what happened between him and Kevin Smith. I listen to Smith a lot (he talks a lot) They used to be buddies.. Smith would joke about how Affleck was gonna be a "star" and leave the rest of them behind. But something changed and it's like the one thing KS won't talk about now.

I just saw this. Pretty good movie. John Goodman (RIP) and Alan Alda were ****ing hilarious.
I kind of forgot how everybody in the late 70s/early 80s was butt **** ugly. |
