A terrible experience

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2016)

This film is a preposterously plotted melange of set ups that might have seemed fruitful at one time but in the end they fail miserably. Nonsensical and burdened with the 1978 setting that was supposed to be ironically amusing, but was ultimately useless. Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger are cast to draw in the audience of LA Confidential, but the lack of character development and weak dialogue dissolve any credibility. Young Angourie Rice as the daughter is a stand out and has a promising future. The film was directed and written by Shane Black who also wrote Lethal Weapon. This film has richly earn a place in obscurity.
