Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016) by Mcgillotine — 26 Feb 2016

The Coen Brothers sure do a hell of a job, accomplishing nothing in Hail Caesar, from characters to general plot and progression, there is a serious lack of substance within the film leading way to excessive confusion and boredom. It also holds my record for most people to walk out on a film accumulating half the cinema getting up to refund their tickets, which surprisingly became more entertaining than the movie itself.

Now if you are planning to watch this movie please help yourself, to these few things to better your experience. 1st. hit yourself with an adrenaline shot before the film, so you don't have ushers trying to wake you 5 hours after the movie has ended 2nd. Sticky tape your eyebrows to your forehead, because with the brief screen time some actors have, you will have missed them in the time it take to blink and 3rd and finally don't go in with any expectations at all or you will be guaranteed to be disapointed.

Now where credits is due is to Brolin and Ehrenreich who make the most of the films pretentious script whereas every other actor and actress who shares a piece of the small spotlight seemed to have had a care factor of zero, when reading the weak and intolerable screenplay. Written with the same amount of care and consideration involved in trying to to miss the toilet seat while peeing.

Hail Caesar, isn't funny it isn't intelligent and most of the struggle behind the movie is trying to figure out exactly what it was supposed to be.
