I read some review that complained Al Pacino and Jared Leto were chewing
the scenery too much. Personally, I have never walked out of a movie
and thought to myself, I wish Pacino toned it down a little. You don't
cast Pacino for a nuanced performance! And Leto had to keep up with
Pacino! I loved it. And Leto's makeup artist better win an Oscar. If
I you didn't know that was Leto under all that makeup, you'd never
guess. I saw it in the theater, but I think it would be fine to watch
at home.
