Review of A Hologram for the King (2016) by Larry D — 29 Apr 2016

Maybe 21/2 stars, Tom Hanks is an excellent actor and does his usual good job but the material is weak. The story is very slow, editing is poor (how many shots do you need of Tom Hanks standing under a shower head in the hotel) The romantic interest between Hanks and a Saudi doctor takes a lot of liberties with Islamic culture.

If there is a point to the movie it is so garbled as to be indecipherable. For the price of two movie tickets I expected more.
