As Malkovich says: "what the ....!"

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2009)

I like Cohens, or I may say their earlier films. Unfortunately, after The Big Lebowski I couldn't get the same taste and joy from them. For me the best features of their films are/were characters, dialog and normality in absurdity. But in this film I had the feeling that absurd characters were created in sake of inventing absurd characters (I had the same feeling while watching No Country for Old Men). Also the structure is loose and the interconnections are way too forced. At certain times the film gets, I feel sorry to say but, boring and needs a better plot structure to keep it together and for me it lacks of it most of the time. The best thing in the film was John Malkovich; he was outstanding! Surely every film has its buyers but I have to admit this film disappointed me considering the cast and of course the creators. But I see every Cohen film, and I will continue, and I hope to get satisfied again.
