Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) is a movie my wife and I saw in theatres as soon as it came out. The storyline follows a former Hollywood star whose star has begun to dim. As his career begins to die so does the career of his stunt man. As they deal with their spiraling careers the rise of the Manson family is about to hit Hollywood.

This movie is directed by Quentin Tarantino (Django) and stars Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed), Brad Pitt (Fight Club), Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad), Timothy Olyphant (The Crazies), Dakota Fanning (The Alienist), Al Pacino (Scarface) and Bruce Dern (The Hateful Eight).

The characters are perfectly written, cast and delivered. The script is out of this world and this movie had a ton of potential. There were several worlds colliding in this picture during this time period that was fascinating. However, the conclusion of this film tried to be too much like Inglorious Bastards and have its own Tarantino spin on history that didn't work as well in this picture...it actually kind of ruined it for me. If they showed what really happened I think this would have been a far better film.

Overall this is a very smart, well written movie that runs a bit longer than it needed to and has a mediocre to bad ending. I would rate this the lowest of all Tarantino films and give it a 6/10.
