 If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Quentin Tarintino should be VERY flattered.

Way over long at 2 and 1/2 hours. WAY. OVER. LONG.

The cast were all excellent but it's hard to recommend because of the ridiculous run time (hey, this is NOT 'Lawrence of Arabia').

 The guy who played the Hotel Manager did a fantastic job, really good performance there.

But yeah, it was derivative and over long.

 I had to check the credits for Quentin's name. I thought it could be one of his not so good films.

 Drawn out for sure, but a decent story well played by a good cast.

 and a few grisly shocks but still no car chase.

 

Yes, a bit too long but well done and not as comic book..., posted on June 8, 2019 at 11:40:56

 violent or wink, wink as Tarantino would have made it.

Good acting - Cynthia Erivo was fantastic.
