A Cohn brothers film!

Rating: 6/10 (25 March 2016)

Hail Caesar, I would say is clearly not a movie for everyone. I'm not sure who the demographic audience is. The Cohn brothers have always had a unique way of telling their story in films. Although, when done in the right way, it can be a good thing as some of there movies are quite clever. However I don't think this is one of them.
A great cast, with the likes of Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson, George Clooney, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum among others. Would lead you to think, this movie could be something special. Instead we are left bored through parts of this movie.
Set in the 1950's, Josh Brolin plays Eddie Mannix, a Hollywood problem solver, who keeps the studio's stars in-line and keeps everything ticking over. Without Brolin's outstanding performance, this movie would have been awful. So much charisma and charm makes you continue watching, and although one or two funny moments in the movie. You are left ultimately disappointed. Review 6/10
