Review.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ABDUCTION.
When I first saw this film on people's most anticipated list or just on the internet I was like "Meh". But when I saw a Tv spot for the film I was like "Oh my goodness, I gotta see this." I love seeing movies with ensemble casts when I notice them, and this one had more than enough actors, I liked with Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, and Jonah Hill a bunch of actors I liked so I went to see it just for these guys.
Tells the comedic tale of Eddie Mannix, a fixer who worked for the Hollywood studios in the 1950s. The story finds him at work when a star mysteriously disappears in the middle of filming.
The film pays way to tribute to 1950s hollywood witch is my favorite aspect of the film and Brolins character Eddie is like the big boss making sure everything is alright so the pictures are scheduled to be released on time. It reminded me of how when I first started getting into 7 years ago I wanted to be an actor as oppose to a film critic.
I'm giving Hail, Caesar! a five out of five for it's great direction, good acting, and writing.
