1 week agoA Gangster's Life review funny in parts, but not always deliberately
Underfunded crime-comedy shows visual ambition and charm but collapses under poor post-production, uneven acting, and confused tone.
Paul Duerson (Raymond Nicholson) has got it bad for world famous pop star and actor Sofia (Samara Weaving). It being the 1990s, he doesn't have the option of simply being creepy on social media; instead, he takes her hostage and attempts to marry her, as you do, in a period-comedy-horror-thriller that is entertaining enough moment-to-moment, but doesn't add up anything very substantial overall.
