Rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (29 June 2016)

I was amazed to find that this film was by the Coen brothers and starred George Clooney. It must be designed to appeal to a particular type of humour - nostalgic American with a fondness for underplayed slapstick. It's not for British audiences! At the showing I went to several people walked out before the end, and there was no laughter at any point. The plot is over-complicated, and much of the acting is stilted and poor - possibly deliberately though this is difficult to discern. Some scenes seem to have no purpose in relation to the storyline - a real hotchpotch of distractions. There is even a religious theme which instead of being funny may well give offence. Sorry, it's not worthy of the Coens or Clooney. Give it a miss.
