Review

oliver stone lost it several years ago. he still has an eye for good visuals, but he’s basically a shadow of the director he once was. the storytelling, the characters, the story itself…they’re all lacking. the storytelling is sloppy and lazy. the characters are picked out of a book of stereotypes. and the story is only interesting in the most basic way – you are curious to see how things turn out.

all i really got out of it is that stone thinks pot should be legal so the cartels aren’t so powerful. i guess he doesn’t have anything to say anymore. he used to tackle things like the media, jfk conspiracies, the cost of war, etc. now he’s tackling threesomes and medicinal marijuana.
