Once again<\/a> an online review affected the viewing experience, and I spent much of this movie giggling at its “Cheesecake Factory aesthetic<\/a>.” I had a good time watching this with my bottle of Coppola wine, and since it is (more or less) the American Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In<\/a><\/em>, I’m going to use the same approach and just post the notes I took while watching it:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Julia out partying, someone who isn’t her dad picks her up, Claudio is hanging round her, ah her dad is Mayor Cicero, she can see Adam’s time stoppage
\nLOL at the dialogue
\nLaurence tells us an empire begins to die when its people no longer believe in it, uh oh
\nRich banker Crassius’s son is Claudio, those girls are his sisters the Claudettes, he’s hot for ’em
\nMayor’s daughter Julia is a big part of this<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vesta wears invisible dress Cesar invented
\nDoddering super-rich uncle Voight is marrying Wow, is Cesar’s uncle
\nShia is good in this, schemes to show vid of Cesar in bed with girl singing about her purity pledge, she might be good singer but you gotta be a good lipsyncer to be in a movie<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No characters in this movie, just narrators – the dialogue is all terrible but the lighting is very good, so we’ll call it even.
\nDuring Driver’s scandal he loses his time control
\nHe gets new girl preg, he’s married to Sunny
\nOnly Shia and Adam are thriving here<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mayor will confess to hiding Cesar’s wife’s body if Cesar leaves the preg daughter
\nTattoo guy sends a 12-yr-old to assassinate Cesar for Claud
\nWow and Shia plot to take over the bank from Voight
\nSo the movie is about rival family members of the world’s richest banker both trying to become populist revolutionaries
\nMovie bad.<\/p>\n
