The acting? Well, Cate...

Yes this film is an amazing technical feat. David Fincher has created some spectacular eye candy in his special effects and overarching concept. Unfortunately the film is seriously slow and drags throughout (anyone remember 'Meet Joe Black'???).
Brad Pitt, Taraji P. Henson and Cate Blanchett do their best with what they...
