There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
