Piece o' crap

Rating: 1/10 (7 September 2019)

What's the opposite of a star?
there should be an option to use some other icon to rate films because it besmirches the star icon for other good movies.
I know that this was done back in 2001, which seems like a technological ice age away, but even measured by the standards of the day it was the equivalent of one of Elvis's movies from the 60's.
As for the framework, well they took the commentary premise from Goodfellas to keep things moving along but while it worked really well in that movie, it stunk in this one.
Liotta must have needed the money and Rachel Griffiths was flatter than a plate of pancakes at IHOP.
Depp was Depp, even back in 2001, why pay him for an appearance in a movie when you could have bought snips of previous films he'd made and splice them in?
With a bit of digital sleight-of-hand you wouldn't have noticed the difference and it would only have cost a couple of bucks.
No character development, no detail, just a spool unrolling.
Don't waste your time
