Joel and Ethan Coen are Legends. Their range of films speaks in volumes, and in 'Intolerable Cruelty' they prove their stature once again. This Rom-Com has some really entertaining moments, fabulous direction & fantastic performances to give!
'Intolerable Cruelty' is tale of romance, between a ruthless gold-digger and a top-grade attorney. These 2 extreme opposites connect, disconnect and funnily enjoy their lives in here.
Joel and Ethan Coen's Screenplay is oven-fresh and packs in memorable and twisted characters. The writing, especially in the first-hour, is superb. The only shortcoming is it's climax, which doesn't leave an impact. This hiccup could've been worked on, for sure! As far as their direction goes, they are in top-form, like always. Cinematography by Roger Deakins is picture-perfect.
Performance-Wise: George Clooney is fantastic. The Oscar-winning legend, performs with unmatchable ease from beginning to end. Catherine Zeta-Jones looks each bit of a gold-digger and oozes sex appeal. Geoffrey Rush is exceptional in a brief role. Cedric The Entertainer is first-rate. Richard Jenkins leaves a mark, while Billy Bob Thornton gets nothing to do. Edward Herrmann is noticeable.
On the whole, Check out this flick, as it offers Cruel Entertainment! Thumbs Up!
