Could've Been Better

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2014)

The potential for Monuments Men was to be one of the all-time great movies, however, George Clooney's direction and screenplay were both lacking. The effort was there; Matt Damon, John Goodman and Bill Murray all deliver solid performances but it wasn't enough to carry this movie to the level it deserved.
Cate Blanchett also delivers another outstanding performance in a supporting role further solidifying her place as one of the best of her craft. She and her fellow British actors continue to prove that the level of acting in the United Kingdom is far superior to Hollywood.
Sadly the American cinema has fallen by the wayside just like our education system.
