A wordy, pretentious, and mostly dull effort from a new (and poor) director. John Travolta can be quite good, but when he's bad, such as here, he's very, very bad. Ditto for Scarlet Johansson, who has that sulk down, but not much else. Haven't read the book, but it seems like a story that just doesn't translate well to the screen. I'm very surprised that someone tried to make this film, and it was clearly a mistake.
Gabriel Macht is actually pretty good here, but it isn't enough to salvage the film. A 3 rating.
