Magic Marmalade 15th Dec 2024		Rated 7/10 I concur with Dr D. on this one. ...It's fun, but if played straight, and all the zany, wackiness and random - out-of nowhere-for no-reason-plot-elements etc. were ditched , this could have been an all time great, set alongside the likes of L.A. Confidential, Chinatown, and the like. (Having seen Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang a while back, it's seems this confirms what I wrote in my review of that movie, about Shane Black: He seems obsessed with those two movies, but doesn't have the courage to play it straight up, and feels compelled to drench it in wry humour, and make jokes all the time because he feels he needs to apologise for himself... You feel like these two movies, more earnestly treated, could have been dripping with Oscars!) The obsession of his with L.A Confidential is more all but confirmed here, due to the presence of both Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger. This is, however, more even, and coherent than Kiss Kiss, and does have a couple of genuine laugh out loud moments, but is mostly, at best, mildly amusing, and only light fun... and altogether a wasted opportunity to do a brilliant, retelling of a seventies set L.A. Confidential. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Dr Doom SUBS 31st Mar 2017		Rated 6/10 OK, no-one is expecting a documentary here but still I feel the level of frivolity spoils what could have been a very good film. Crowe and Gosling have presence/chemistry and all that jazz but for me the whole thing was just too silly to make it any more than an enjoyable (one time) watch. I'd really like to have seen a much darker take on the Hollywood Vice/conspiracy subject matter rather than the 'buddy movie' angle they've gone for. It's not a terrible movie by any means but I'm not convinced that in 5 years time anyone will be remembering the reasonably enjoyable 2 hours they spent watching it.... 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
