One minute into the opening, I knew she didn't know what she was talking about.If you can sit through the first half, it'll be worth it; because it wasn't easy at all. A lot of bull shit went into making the first half and they just didn't sit well with me.One of the biggest beef I had with it was how Chloe, Amanda Seyfried, became a storyteller, and a damn good one at vivid descriptions too. It just wasn't realistic at all, and not good enough for this genre.The dialogue and script wasn't bad. Seyfried, Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore were alright. I understand it needed the buildup, but the events unfolded too slowly and many times unrealistically. And then the turning point happened - that split second where everything came together and made the experience worthwhile.So there is a nice story in there. Just that the execution could have been a bit more realistic in certain aspects.On a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to see a Nina Dobrev looking cute as ever.
