Should Have Been Amazing

Rating: 5/10 (28 February 2014)

This movie is like a combination of Ocean's 11 (an entertaining and comic heist) and Inglourious Basterds, a serious stakes operation set in world war two torn Europe. George Clooney directed this movie and there's obviously tons of opportunity there for a great story and film even without the amazing abundance of great acting talent at his disposal, including not just himself but Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman and several others. The story is built around them attempting to steal back priceless works of art from the Nazis, it sounds amazing and should have been but sadly it just comes off as a pretty average movie. The big problem is that the great actors in this aren't given enough time to work together or even just enough time on screen at all, way more Bill Murray would have helped! Still a decent movie for the entertainment value and worth watching.
