Just failed to interest me

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2018)

I don't know what it is but this film just felt bad. Jack Nicholson gave a great performance and it hit all the important scenes from the book but it just fell flat otherwise. Martini felt too annoying and while I get that's the idea it just irritates me. Bromden's escape felt unearned, he was a character, who if you didn't read the book wouldn't understand why he was in the hospital. My biggest problem is simply not enough changed throughout the movie. All the patients stayed, making it feel like none of them grew or changed. Ultimately just an overrated film that doesn't mean anything.
