Uncommonly Entertaining Alternate History

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2019)

I can't say how folks born in the 80's and beyond will feel about this flick. It is such a nostalgic look at the late sixties culture grafted on to an outrageous real murder turned on its head here in a creative alternative way.
What works without question is the attention to period kitsch, music, and a wicked lampooning of the rise of the unabashed self-important Hollywood art community of actors and directors breaking up the old studio stranglehold. There will be blood, a whole lot of it if "Charlie's Angels" (& one particular Devil) extract a psychopathic warped justice.
So it ain't really even comparable to Pulp Fiction. It takes a kind of old story of star whose career is flagging and then goes on more than a single interesting turn, several in fact.
As expected dialog is sharp, but it is more visual and...funny as a result. This is a homage to a time and an industry as well as poking lots of fun at the whole ridiculous nature of these self-indulgent folks with their heads up their @$$e$. In the end it's not about if the story has anything original and moving...It's fun and it's the ending we wish would have happened if we could write it around the characters we get here.
