Compromised by factual links

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2019)

There were some very funny moments including the canine capers and also Pitt & DiCaprio are a great pairing. But I felt that linking the story to a factual crime compromised this work. What could have been a much shorter and soaring tale of pure imagination was hampered and brought somewhat clumsily down to earth by pinning on to it elements of true life.
This is the second film I have seen recently (Transit was the other one) which is blighted by narration.
The excellent sound track (Neal Diamond and the Stones were my favourites) failed to lift this to an above average Tarantino outing.
