It looks like a saccharine, silly piece of crap. I can't take Sam Elliot seriously unless he is in a western or a comedy.

Ah, I guess I did know about your much younger brother, didn't know about the one in LA though. Is he into film as much as you are? Are you guys close? WAS THE MOVIE ANY GOOD?!
Yes, yes, and yes!

This is what he said about the movie:
“Movie’s fucking phenomenal. It’s like Brawl but nearly three hours long with a much bigger budget, beauuutifully composed cinematography, much less emphasis on violence, and most of the movie is basically one really long drawn out setpiece. It’s amazing. It’s pretty much Zahler’s version of Magnolia lol. And extremely politically charged but in the best way. Zahler is for sure the most exciting director working now”
