Bill T. @btreakle Apr 7 “Hail Ceasar” You know this film had an excellent cast of characters See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Apr 7 Lead by a star studded cast. Eddie who is in charge of keeping the talent happy and out of trouble finds himself in a pickle when Baird is kidnapped. Other characters include a singing cowboy, a esther williams type actress and burt who is a Gene Kelly wannabe. Burt played by Channing Tatum is my favorite character. His performance of no Dames is funny and amazing. This movie is filled with good performances and George Clooneys scene with josh brolin toward the end had me in 😭 lol. Tim Treakle See more Anthony K @RT04056051 Mar 30 The first time I watched this I was not paying close attention but enjoyed it. I realized it is fast moving and subtle so the next time I payed close attention and liked it even better. Wish I had seen it in a theater because I suspect that would have made it a five star movie for me. It doesn’t really depict a time, more like a memory of films to TV during the 60’s. The analog broadcast Netflix era. See more Justin K. @bootsyandbbyratemoofies27 Mar 8 Slow, odd, underdeveloped. Clooney past his prime. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Oct 30 It's a Coen Brothers Classic but speaking to the quality of the overall body of work you could argue this is the point where things really started to turn in the wrong direction looking back. It has the same structure of something like Burn After Reading but is just not as tightly done as that was especially in the middle. And this also just has tone issues too. The editing isn't bad here as a whole but I mean its a musical, comedy, crime plot, meta hollywood drama, all done in a screwball type fashion with a Pulp Fiction style plot. It can get very unfocused at times but never is it not entertaining a testament to the great direction by the Coen Brothers, quirky but memorable characters, and just crazy antics. The S.J. subplot feels like the most unrelated thing and coud've been cut completely. It doesn't feel like it's related to much at all. Tatum's Golden Era music number is great but again it doesn't really fit with anything. Both are entertaining and great scenes like 99% of this film but when you mash them together they feel ike completely different films at certain points. The main ransom plot feels just forgotten at points in the middle. The fact the end does do a good job wrapping things up in a whacky Coen Brothers style way is a small miracle. It just works enough honestly for me and everything else is well done. The characters are all memorable, it's always entertaining, has that Coen Brothers humor/dialouge to it, and it's never convuluted. It's just not clear how things link up. At least Burn After Reading felt like it was all from the same film. This feels like it's from the same director but not the same film at times if that makes sense. It's got great production value, a meta style plot, and doesn't take itself serious at all, it's fun. But man is it unfocused and all over the place tone wise at times too in the middle. Anyone who is a fan of any actors here, the directors, or very quirky comedies should check this out. See more Daniel M @MazzaQuePasa Oct 6 It had an amazing cast with a great setting and a story that could have been fun, but it was just too boring at times. Too many scenes that never needed to be in the movie imo. See more Read all reviews
