Let Them Talk...about nothing. The latest effort from Steve Soderbergh falls limp and flat on a very cold plate. The acting is Ok.

The latest effort from Steve Soderbergh falls limp and flat on a very cold plate. The acting is Ok. (Even LaStreep can't pull this one from the jaws of severe mediocrity) But it's the writing, or lack thereof and the directing or lack thereof that really sinks this ship. Rambling, boring, numbing are just some of the adjectives to describe this venture into existential nothingness. The direction was actually BAD. Something I never thought I would see from Soderbergh, who I usually admire.

The only stand out was Gemma Chan who thankfully has a smaller more innocuous role.

I am a fan of all those involved in this movie but sadly for me this one would have me more aptly named “The Ship to Nowhere”
If you’re a fan watch it and see for yourself if you’ve got the time to kill, otherwise you’d be better off foundI am a fan of all those involved in this movie but sadly for me this one would have me more aptly named “The Ship to Nowhere”
