Some of the grindhouse splashy stuff is fun, some of the campy stuff with Cage is fun. Besides that, it’s fairly forgettable. It’s a classic example of the writer not having enough ideas to keep it entertaining and choosing the wrong angle, because let’s be honest here: the movie should’ve focussed on Cage instead of Awkwafina and Hoult. All the stuff with Awkwafina in particular is very boring and feels like padding. Moreover, it’s not that funny, the sickening hues in the cinematography are somewhat interesting but a lot of it still looks like basic coverage and the score/needle drops suck. I don’t even think it throws enough of a bone in terms of well developed characters or an interesting premise, instead it really feels like the worst instincts of Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Sam Raimi combined into a film.
