Visually Great Musically Awful

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2019)

We have a 1920s film set to a modern day soundtrack...and it didn't work. The music selection in this film was absolutely bizarre. It turned what could have been a good film into a cartoon style film. Alas, the story line was a tad bland as well, although in fairness, the music didn't help. It's hard to feel empathy for a 1920s character when a hip hop track is blasting underneath them. I felt the story fizzled out towards the end as well due to weak writing. Visually this film is great, it's acted well; however, the music and weak writing turned it into a 5/10 for me.
