Michael Shannon for example is a talented actor, and yet all his character does for the duration of his part is shout his lines as loudly and aggressively as he can. On paper the cast isn't all that bad, but it doesn't matter how good of an actor you are, if you're given nothing to work with then your performance is going to be terrible. The characters in this movie are abysmal. A stupid way to start a very frustrating movie. The scene at the very beginning, before we flash back 4 days, is one of the most ridiculously obvious spoilers you will ever see that a character is going to be okay until that point. '13' was one of the worst examples of this I have ever seen. Sometimes it works, but more often than not it adds nothing to the movie and works only as a spoiler. One of my biggest hates is when a film starts with a scene near the end of the movie and then flashes back to begin telling us how we got there.
