Plot Fails to Fully Deliver

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2018)

(Flash Review)
Another one of those movies about the movie industry in the golden era; the 50s. A main figurehead at Capitol Studios spends the movie trying to deal with and appease big star actors, keep movie budgets under control, free a kidnapped star by Communists and deal with the media. The Coen Brothers tried their approach of a humorous, sprawling and plotless film but sadly it failed to have the same great impact of many of their previous films. Perhaps they tried to include too many story lines that they were all to thin, which lacked the depth and meat that makes his past films memorable. A quality production with less than anticipated intrigue and impact.
