Review of Sharkskin (2015) by Jack O — 02 Aug 2016

Look, mob movies are basically period pieces for guys. The trailer fooled me, what with the mob theme, the old cars, and the sharp suits. But watching the movie is sort of like eating bad clams. It starts out OK. Then you start getting this queasy feeling, and then before you know it you're driving the porcelain bus.

With this movie, that queasy feeling starts pretty quickly, when you realize that the stereotypes are being laid on a bit too thick. The plotting gets stupider, and the characters get more and more implausible, and the whole thing is just a mess.

I hate this movie, and I want the last 100 minutes of my life back.
