This movie is just not interesting or well done. The acting is very clunky and the whole movie feels stiff and unnatural. I was actually pretty appalled at how bad it was. I figured with some of the talent, it would have it's moments. Honestly, it did not. It is hard to watch Kirk Douglas speaking with his voice after his stroke. My Dad has had two strokes so I know how hard it is to get your speech back, but for me with the lackluster script and then his altered speech and of course his face is changed too from his stroke, it was difficult to see. I am sure most people would not want to bring this up to be sensitive, but everyone is thinking it. It is sad to watch this movie with Michael Douglas's son Cameron, who is in jail for drugs until 2018, and then to know his stepbrother died in 2004 from a drug overdose. Roger Ebert said if they just made a movie based on their real lives, it would of been a heck of a movie.
