Welcome Back!
Been a pretty tame week. The post con high has left, time to get back to real life.
So i watched a movie about 4 old guys in Vegas! Yeah!
Pros:
Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline.
These four are acting legends. Seeing them act together is amazing. They are at the top of their game. This isn't four Oscar performances, this is four guys having fun. It's great to see the interactions between them. All the characters are well defined and believable. They felt like old friends reuniting, the complications, the inside jokes. It all felt like a senior version of World's End.
Vegas movies are usually fun. lots of eye candy to look at and nothing too heavy to them. That being said, this movie did get into some deeper issues. It let the story go darker when it needed to. Overall I really enjoyed it. now hopefully they don't make two carbon copy sequels.
Cons:
The story was a bit predictable, the Four each had their own little story-lines, and I called the resolutions of all of them ahead of time. They almost felt like side stories next to the real camaraderie of the group.
I also have that distinct feeling I'll forget I saw this movie in a few months. Thank gods I write these reviews.
Morgan Freeman wasn't the Narrator
FINAL VERDICT: 80
Very fun movie, but predictable.
So that's that. I have some editing to do, and an open casting call for Star Wars on Sunday. Not expecting much, but we'll see.
