Viewing Notes

More like a live action cartoon the way these characters are portrayed. Had problems with this throughout but at least I was entertained for the most part. If not for some stellar work by Benicio Del Toro, Travolta and Salma Hayek, who all looked like they were having fun, I’d knock this down a point. Cinematography is excellent just wish I could say the same about the plotting. Bottom line: hard to get invested in these characters to make the film worthwhile. Strange movie.
