This is not an Oscar worthy film per se. Jeff Bridges is such a great actor...but he should have been awarded an Oscar long time ago, and not particularly for *this* boring movie. Maggie Gyllenhall is quite good and she looks lovelier than usual to me here. Robert Duvall is a total waste (great actor, very poor character).
Bridges has been wonderful throughout the last 15 years or so, both in comedy (with BarbraStreisand) and drama, and even action. Colin Farrell's character could have been played by anyone!.
The story has been told lots of time, the script is acceptable, the total product is finally a mediocre one.
