The reason I say surprisingly great is because McConaughey has been making watered-down fluff for the past several years. I almost forgot that he could actually act.
The acting is great from everyone here. There are plenty of recognizable faces in the film. The directing is also great. The film has a very striking look to it, particularly during the flashbacks. It's also nice to see a director who knows when to use shaky-cam and when to leave it alone.
I can imagine how some people would have issues with the pacing. The movie moves along at a very fast speed. If you can pay attention and digest all of the information quickly, you'll enjoy it even more.
The best thing about the film for me is that it's a great film for grown- ups. This isn't watered-down PG-13 garbage. The characters aren't always nice to each other(boo-hoo), and it actually requires you to think. For that, I loved it.
