Crimes em Hollywood

This kinda detective thrillers used to be regular in the late 80s n early 90s.

This one reminded me of Chinatown too.

The movie is not at all boring n moves at a decent pace.

There are many poorly developed characters n the only flaw i found is rather than making it into a dark n tension filled murder mystery, the makers opted it the more comical n light hearted approach.

And Charlie Hunnam has never been gone. Ex-LAPD cop Charlie Waldo (Charlie Hunnam) descends from his hill where he retired in order to investigate a high-profile murder. TV Actor Alastair Pinch (Mel Gibson) stands accused of murdering his wife, Monica. The plot and storyline are very smooth. This movie never gets boring. And we are witnessing the rebirth of Mel Gibson. Finally he delivers again. Charlie Hunnam never disappoints. What an acting performance. Where the story lacks originality, the acting never fails. The movie is fast paced and funny. A well-deserved 7/10 for never getting bored to death!

If you're going to watch something, this one's not a bad choice... a good story IMO- carried by a great cast and a crew who knew what they were doing- and it had enough distractions that I didn't know whodunnit until near the end Gibson was great but he's not the main character.

Wow, while most of Hollywood is trying hard to destroy Mel Gibson he is proving strongly why he can't be taken down. Great performance by a great actor. He has seriously turned into SEAN Connery more he ages.... Well made film, kinda made me think of Fletch with many great moments... Don't let judgement cloud your mind here.

The movie is not bad at all.

Very good performance by Hunman and Gibson.

Very slow at the beginning but it's getting more and more interesting as the story unreveals.

But the sound... One of the most annoying sound experience in a very long time. Not because the music is bad, but because the volume levels are so uneaven. Dialogs are quiet, then loud, then quiet, music almost always is much louder than any dialogs.

I couldn't watch it without headphones. Just impossible if you like your neighbours and want to understand what the dialogs in the movie are at the same time.
