Review of The Monuments Men (2014) by Jens S — 29 Mar 2016
The premise is fun, making you think of 70s WW2 caper movies. I don't know how they managed to combine such a fantastic cast and yet make every single character and actor feel underused. The decision to split up the team didn't help.
The direction and look of the film are great and there are glimpses of what could have been. But the plot remains somewhat undecided, sometimes hinting at the terrors of war while being entirely unexciting at the same time.
Entertaining but also a missed opportunity. Pity.
