Totally unwatchable. You feel like you've been dropped into the 2nd hour of a 3 hour movie right at the beginning. The characters are not introduced, there is little action, and the dialogue is given with the energy normally reserved for NPR radio. I could not get past the first 20 minutes of this slow boat to nowhere, and my wife gave up on it sooner than that. I never turn off a film before finishing it, but had to break my rule for this one. I see now why Gary Oldman did not get the Oscar for this one, (although he was WAY overdue for that award, go see him in "Darkest Hour" instead).
