Love letter to old school cinema and grindhouse against a capitalistic organisation and its henchmen.
Unfortunately even the short running time of app. 90 min doesn‘t prevent this movie from boredom and at no point the director succeeds in creating tension or suspense.
The movie is ok, the actors have fun, the director celebrates its idols, but for me this love letter doesn’t work that well like “Cinema Paradiso“ or “Last Action Hero“.
Nonetheless, of you like some nostalgia about the old cinemas and some 70s and 80s references, then give this one a try.
