Hey everyone this movie is set in the '80's!!!

Rating: 4/10 (19 January 2019)

Four stars is generous. Bale's character is completely plastic. It goes beyond portraying an 80's yuppie into a realm where anyone would recognize that he's completely unstable. There is no subtlety at all. The writers continually force down your throat that this movie takes place in the 1980's in a very inorganic way. It's like "Yep, we get it already, you've proven your knowledge of 80's pop music." It's not only Bale's character that's unbelievable, it's every character. Nothing rings true. It's as if the writers and actors had heard stories about the 80's but never lived through those years and are putting on some grade school production. You can skip this one.
