Monuments Men

(2014) George Clooney

George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, whoa that is a cast.

This "true story" of the United States soldiers charged with protecting and recovering artwork and items stolen by the Nazi's during the war looks great and has a great cast. Sadly this film seems a bit boring. A bit bland. There are some nice scenes but there is an uneven, methodical, plod to the work that brings somberness but little else. I kept waiting for all these great actors to be let out of their cages to shine. It did not happen. Brilliant casting of Nick Clooney as Old George Clooney.

(3/7)
