Brian Koppelman

After realizing he's mortal, a businessman screws up his life.

If you've seen Crazy Heart or The Wrestler, then this doesn't have much new to offer except an excuse to give Michael Douglas an Oscar nomination. But it didn't bore me. Good directing and editing. My wife says it's geared for an older audience. Perhaps that would explain why so many of the secondary characters are not immediately appalled by Douglas' character.
