A low budget film with a couple of notable actors.
A few small twists, but fairly predictable.
Not great.
A celebration of self indulgence.
A catalogue of the well trodden path of . . .
Ambition/Ego/talent >>> Big break >>> Indulgence-Cheating-Vice >>> I’m too good for this >>> Independent Success >>> Rehab PR >>> Please feel sorry for me campaign, followed by >>> I’m really a good person campaign >>> Aim for national treasure status.
Have to say that the movie making was very good indeed with some effective emotional hooks embedded.
You did entertain me Robert, but didn’t win me over.
The producers just didn’t hold back on this one.
Totally maxed out in certain scenes, but great make up, sound track and effects.
Enjoyable isn’t the word, but memorable certainly.
Would recommend for a once only viewing, but maybe not on Christmas Eve.
Definitely a modern classic. Had an old school vibe to it throughout, with some flawless performances. The script primarily concentrated on the development of a few key characters, each with personal challenges, but the script never drifted into sentimentality or took easy ‘emotional’ wins.
One of my new favourite films.
