The reason this film was made was to be a homage to old time Hollywood, and the Kidnapped Clooney plot was there just to pass it along as a current movie. Once I put aside the unsatisfying conclusion to that necessary plot, I say that I absolutely loved it.
The film boasts quite a cast, with George Clooney, Scarlet Johansson, Ralph Fiennes, Chaning Tatum and Tilda Swinton all giving solid performances. Jonah Hill was great in what should have been billed as a cameo, but the true shining star of this ensemble is Josh Brolin. His portrayal of Eddie Manix, the studio situation fixer was good enough to makeup for the stupidity of his character. It was a nuanced and pitch perfect performance, in what was was an overall OK movie.
