Arriving over ten years after the faux-Grindhouse bubble burst, post-Tarantino “Death Proof,” Will Addison’s “Easy Does It” fatally mistakes headache-inducing visuals and unending nervously delivered dialogue for style, bludgeoning the viewer with a pastiche of better films that wears out its welcome way before the credits start rolling.
