Great actors acting but little else

Rating: 6/10 (16 August 2019)

So this is a weird film. It's quite enjoyable to watch but on reflection, the film just doesn't have any content to refer back to. The main/only strength of this film is to watch two fine actors giving it their all with great characters who are developed so well over an almost 3 hour period but apart from the occasional random scene, they're left to flicker and fade in an otherwise rambling journey that ultimately goes nowhere. QT has definitely toned down his stylised approach for this although it has som really nice touches when old classsics are revisited with a twist ;) But for a film with this little content to be almost 3 hours is just silly and pointless no matter how endearing it is to see Leo and Brad out in such great performances. QT once again almost succeeded here but the film lacked pace and content and ultimately felt a little flat and will be another 'could have, should have' in the QT archives.
