Here is the breakdown of this film: It's the 1980's.
Boring guy has a business he is trying to expand in NYC. Nothing
happens. This over-hyped snooze fest is misleading in so many ways.
Nothing happens. It is supposed to be filled with suspense, morals
and business ethics surrounding a man and his family. Did I mention
nothing happens? Seriously, the movie follows a guy who has a successful
oil and fuel distribution company and someone is stealing his trucks and
selling the oil to one of his competitors. Its based in New York during a
year in the 80's that was apparently one of the most crime ridden times in
history. What do we get for it, a slow, action absent, boring movie.
The only bit of life in the entire film is when the main dude has to
chase down a thief but then just lets him go. Now I can handle movies
that are more dialogue and no pace, but there was no resolution, even when he
finds out who has been stealing from him. It was dull, slow and one more
thing, nothing happens. I think Albert Brooks is the best part of the
movie but even he couldn't save it. I would not recommend this film, even
with Jessica Chastain, its still a pass.
FYI: Nothing Happens
*1/2
