Great performances and direction as expected from the Cohen brothers!

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2016)

The Cohen brothers have another fun and intriguing film with a star-studded cast and even managed to introduce some new faces to the viewing public. The most arresting performance was that of Josh Brolin as Eddie Mannix, a fixer or director of physical production for the fiction studio Capitol Pictures. The time period is old Hollywood 1950s and the rise of Communism is a subplot in the film. Brolin really steals the show and adds another great role to his impressive career.
Another cast member with a big name draw was George Clooney as an oafish star who ends up captured by a mysterious group known as the future. Clooney thrives as the moron Baird Whitlock and delivers a humorous performance.
