Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016) by Compi24 — 06 Feb 2016
It may have something to do with the supremely high standards set by the Coen Brothers' stellar filmography, but there is certainly something missing from "Hail, Caesar!" Perhaps, it's the narrative at hand, which seems to clearly lack a sense of cohesion amongst its bizarre moving parts.
Maybe it has something to do with the undercooked feel of the film's final act, or the heavy handed antics of the movie's philosophical platform. Still though, as disappointing as these elements may be, make no mistake - "Hail, Caesar!" is a surprisingly enjoyable comedy, with delightfully entertaining performances from Josh Brolin, George Clooney, and newcomer Alden Ehrenreich.
The bitingly outlandish humor is also a shining element of this tribute to cinema's golden age. Sure, the Coen Brothers might not be at the top of their narrative game, but that comedic right hook is still a knockout.
