Watched last night. Thought it was pretty entertaining, then got a little long and silly about halfway through. Either way, prob worth the watch. Good cast.

What the M/TV Board think about this one?

I liked it as well.

Me on any movie where Chris Hemsworth is shirtless...




Didn't like that Chris plays a bad guy though...but he's the hottest bad guy in a movie I've seen

It's a less Tarantinoy Hateful 8.

I liked the ending. You really sympathize with the bellhop.

I liked all of it but the 10 minutes of the movie when Helmsworth shows up. Basically the time around him dancing seemed slow and unnecessary.

I really enjoyed it, maybe a little too long, but a solid movie

Potential spoiler......







I’m surprised they never revealed who the famous person was on the film other than he was dead. Or did I miss it???

I saw it a while back. I liked it, but thought it could’ve done better towards the end. Had a lot of potential for a crazy twist but it just kinda fizzled out for me

They did not name him.

The most common theory is that it is JFK.

Saw it in theaters.

Kinda long and thought they left some meat on the bone. Meaning it could have been crazier, agreed.

On the tape thing, remember "Hoover" told the agent that the guy on tape wasn't a target so any obvious person is probably out. So JFK, MLK etc are doubtful

This was me. I liked the setup a lot, but the payoff didn't deliver in a way that measured up.

I liked the twist with someone getting shot halfway thru then it seemed to go down hill.. I was expecting more info on the "owners" or something else to happen.

6.5/10 but I did enjoy it.

It reminded me of all of the Tarantino knock-off films that came out in the mid-90s, but because we don't really get movies like that any more, it felt fresh.

3 out of 5. I would watch it again if it was just on TV, and I advise people who like those kinds of Tarantino Pulp, Reservoir, Jackie Brown movies to watch it.
