    You really need the buildup of the entire movie for the scene to be really impactful, but despite the bad CGI, Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is excellent.

        Some of the dialogue is not great, but overall he has some fantastic acting that is worth seeing. Not to mention the other actors who are actually likeable and do a great job.

        But, yeah, it is Mel Gibson. I wouldn’t buy another copy if it puts money in his hands. If you haven’t seen it I recommend finding an alternative path to watch it.
