Don't Believe the Hype - At Least I Didn't Pay for a Theater Ticket
It ended better than it started but that doesn't make it a worthwhile watch. Austin Butler did a commendable job in his role but Tom Hanks was putrid in his role. Hanks is normally an excellent actor, so I can only surmise that the direction he received for the roll was misguided. The wandering, completely inaccurate accent was plain embarrassing. The first hour felt like I was spinning out on hallucinogenic mushrooms as there was almost no direction to this part of the movie. The last 1.5 hours was better and almost seemed like a different director. Should have been much, much shorter. I love classic cars, with a soft spot for Cadillacs, and this movie did not disappoint.
