It was OK.

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2019)

I didn't know anything about this film and found it on a cable channel I rarely watch. My synopsis would be that it was trying too hard and that the ending was predictable.
There are some huge names in it, but somehow, although everyone's performance was good - Bradley Cooper was a bit over-the-top, though - they just didn't seem to gel together.
The opening scene was sort-of funny, but went on too long. There were several episodes where things should have been funny, but just weren't. One instance was the FBI man in hair curlers - it just wasn't that amusing and it really should have been. I imagine other things were thought to be done in a "knowing" way, but it was just a bit cliched.
It felt like they were out to make this decade's Boogie Nights, but fell short.
I didn't even watch it in one go - I watched the second half two days later so it wasn't exactly gripping!
