TL;DR – I have used many adjectives to describe Quentin Tarantino’s films before but dull is a new one here.
Score – 2.5 out of 5 stars
Post-Credit Scene – There is an end-credit scene
Review –
Quentin Tarantino is a very specific kind of director and sort of puts him in a
category where I find a lot of people either love or hate his films. I have
found myself falling into both categories in the past with me adoring some of
his films like Django Unchained and
really not liking some of his other works like The
Hateful Eight. However, whatever the case may be, I have always
walked out of his films with strong feelings one way or the other, but not this
time, this time I walked out looking at my watch to see how much time that
took.
So to set the scene, we open in on Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) star of the
most popular show on TV Bounty Law as
he gives an interview with his long-time stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt).
Flash forward to the end of the decade and after a failed swing at movies Rick
has been demoted to playing the bad guy or ‘heavy’ in other people’s shows and
Cliff is still there as his driver and assistant. Well, one day a new
opportunity arises for Rick, a real chance at something, but what neither Rick
nor Cliff knows is that there are people out there that do not have everyone’s
best interests at heart and a friendly smile might hide violent personality.
