Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016) by Badgerryan19 — 18 May 2017

Stupid funny comedy. Bust out laughing at some points. Great acting, intriguing story. Another great film from the Coen brothers. Not for everyone but still a good one.

Actually disappointingly short and could not get into the characters. What a shame, there was so much potential there…

Although it's decked out with a bedazzling and eccentric cast of actors and characters alike, something seems to be amiss in the Coen brothers…
