REVIEW:
What a long film.
Did I enjoy it? For the most part, yes.
There was a great story within a story, and the most incredible thespians on the planet brought it to life. Maybe the cast is my favorite part...
I had no idea this was based on a book until the very end. I wonder if it's a big one.
I liked the bits with Jimmy Hoffa. Really makes you wonder, since you know his body was never found. Never mind cement shoes, wood chippers were a thing too.
Interesting, to say the least.
Sadly, I don't think everyone will find this to be the Oscar winner it was.
3/5

It's good, just not great.
DeleteI've been wanting to watch this. It looks really interesting!
ReplyDeleteI watched about half of this movie but still haven't gotten back to finishing it yet. It is interesting with a great cast of characters.
