I love the retrospective, the theatre signs showing the current running movies with the actors displayed, but that is as far as it went. Other than that it juddered from one scene to the next with a hope of a solid additional lead for a parallel story on top of the boring, staid tale of the hasbeen actor and his stunt man. None of it materialised. Any number of times, I was tempted to walk out on this self indulgent tale. One thing I can guarantee this film will not be a winner on the list of anyone's Christmas or birthday present list, or downloaded once it is released to the mainstream market. Sorry Quentin but this is probably your worst film ever. Put this next to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs and you have to admit this doesn't even come close. Brad Pitt makes a commendable performance and is the saving grace in the acting in this film. Some cameo appearances also hold their head up high hence the 3 stars, but otherwise it's back to the drawing board. You need something pretty solid to bring your game back up to its early level.
