Save your money

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2015)

It took me approximately an hour to realise I had not yet enjoyed eight hateful minutes of this indulgent dirge. The writing lacks wit, the direction was tired and the editors ... where were the editors?
Definitely the most disappointing film I have watched of the year. Of course I have seen worse, but not by directors with such pedigree and ambition.
I might not have bothered to add my two-bits but I do so out of concern for those of you who must measure their film spend with care. Keep your wallets firmly shut.
Samuel Jackson plays Samuel Jackson reasonably well, I guess, but the only true acting highlight is the facial hair grown especially for the part by Kurt Russell. A gong-worthy moustache in a pastiche of cliché and caricature.
