...rampage were of Pakistani origin. Although investigators in Islamabad had previously confirmed that the lone surviving gunman (in Indian custody) is Pakistani, they had repeatedly denied that the others were from their country. The report, which was expected to be made public by Feb. 13, also says the plot was hatched via the Internet in Dubai and an unnamed European country...
...well as her seductive ones; and the dynamic between Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck—a couple who’ve cohabitated for seven years—is more believable than we see in most comedies.

The tale lacks sensational dialogue, a rapidly moving plot, and easily recognizable actors. There is also a noticeable lack of interference on the part of Kechiche; the movie does not have a dramatic soundtrack, for instance, that would attempt to evoke specific reactions and emotions in the audience. These subtle directorial choices might fail to lure the average viewer...
