Affleck's acting style has always been understated to the point of barely existing. It's why he was riveting in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” in particular. Affleck drifts, he floats through dialogue, he doesn't have words at his easy disposal. This works well for him here.

At nearly two hours, the film has a staid, even-keeled tone that wears after a while, especially since we learn so little about these characters. We’re immersed in their reality, but not particularly involved in it.
