So, I saw the Coen brothers' latest film last night. I've liked most of their films that I've seen but I came out of the cinema feeling disappointed.
I've been mulling over why that might be since then and I think it basically comes down to this. While the events the film revolves around should make for either a gripping thriller or laugh out loud comedy, what you see on screen feels like most of the interesting story scenes got left on the cutting room floor in a bid to get the run time down. This is a shame as the cast are good, although criminally underused in the case of Jonah Hill and Scarlett Johansson.
Perhaps this would have worked better as a TV series where the different threads of the story could have been given more time to be explored.
