good but missing something

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2019)

The violence seemed plug-n-play. Plonked as token formula trademark.
Good tension and atmosphere, but sometimes scenes end up in vague destinations.
Is Hollywood behind the scenes that fascinating? I suppose but I couldn't find myself caring.
One stand-out was the girl (Julia Butters) and her conversation scene with DiCaprio. The clever and funny lines nicely written, her execution icing on cake. DiCaprio was good to watch in this role.
I enjoyed the old cars, the cinematics, the editing and tension, but everything felt stuck in second gear.
Expectations not met on this occasion. Still gets a reasonable 6 or 7 out of 10 for good entertainment with a short rubber-stamped concentrated dose of blood splattering violence. It was missing something.
