I know people will write this off because it has Ben Affleck, but as a Superman fan, the story really interests me.

My friend gave me the link to the trailer and I thought "Oh no not Ben Affleck" but he doesn't seem too bad in it and the film did appeal to me. And I love Adrien Brody.
Second the Brody part.
I can't wait to see this, and I'll admit it, I'm an Affleck fan *hides self from projectiles*
I thought this movie was really great. I wasn't really in the mood for an "intense in your face movie" so this movie was definitely the right choice. Honestly it is really hard to say which actor of Brody and Affleck was better in this flick, despite whatever reasons people dislike Ben. However they were both great, and the movie was well paced in the sense of current time with Brody, to flashbacks of Bens life. Diane Lane also gives an excellent performance.
If you want a good detective movie with solid music and a laid back atmosphere, or better yet a flat out good movie, check this one out.
Although the ending might not make many people happy.
Affleck is not a bad actor. He was good in Good Will Hunting, Armageddon, Sum of All Fears, Dogma, Jersey Girl and Chasing Amy.
I think people don't like him for the whole Ben/J-Lo and Gigli thing, but he is not bad. He may have made some bad movie decisions (Paycheck, Gigli, Reindeer Games) but he's been a good actor.
