Hail, Caesar! (2016)
6/10
I'd honestly give a 6.5. But, whatever.

Coen Brothers sprinkle stars like herbs on an Italian dish. And ofcourse, Josh Brolin is the meat of the film. He does shine in his role. He's a great antagonist as Eddie Mannix. George Clooney does his part well, but I only wished his role had more spice to it. Hobie is a delight and a charm as he's meant to be. There are characteristic Coen Brothers' twists, but they don't hit that well compared to their other films. Also, the undercurrent themes are muddled with too much from World war to Communism and executives running studios. It stands a tad tall about just another vintage Hollywood movie, but doesn't stand very much apart either.
