Remember
Crit
A sci-fi trope we've seen before: a malleable innocent is sent on an mission of assassination by a manipulative genius. To be fair, we've never seen it with a Holocaust twist, with both pawn (Christopher Plummer) and Svengali (Martin Landau) Auschwitz survivors. Atom Egoyan has never shied from implausibility or potential offensiveness, but we've been waiting more than a decade for him to make his morality play sensibility work again; the wait continues.
Trailer
- Miles Ahead--I've been excited about seeing Don Cheadle portray (he cowrote and directed too) the greatest jazz (sorry: that's "just a made-up word") trumpeter of the second half of the twentieth century, at minimum, but the trailer looks like standard-issue troubled-artist biopic.
