Boring boring boring. Just could not get into this movie. Did I say that it was boring and slow? Too bad because the cast of actors is actually pretty good.

Trumbo is nothing but a preachy slog that coincidentally ignores the other side. The movie is terribly put together even with Cranston's decent performance. If you're going to make a preachy film, at least try and do it well.

A Hollywood celebration of the character of a man who defended Hitler and took orders from Stalin. Hollywood seems to have forgotten that Soviet Union and it's supporters weren't leftist, they were totalitarian.

Hollywood seems to have forgotten that Soviet Union and it's supporters weren't leftist, they were totalitarian. Trumbo was an important and fascinating historical figure, but he was NOT the character we see celebrated in this film.

As far as technical aspects, the movie is capable, lifting my score to... a two.
