An astonishing movie in its crapola. A pop video director may know something about visuals but nothing about characters, nuance or plot development.
Former stripper Amber Heard cannot act at all (not even in court). Jim Sturgess is in Razzie form. Nothing works, not the script, plot, cast, voiceover or grating background music.
The worst movie I've seen in some time.

Wow
Hands down, this HAS to be one of the WORST movies ever made.
It's a mess.
Not a film noir. It's a film No
a mess
Struggling writer Samson Young (Billy Bob Thornton),sleazy darts player Keith Talent (Jim Sturgess),and well dressed man Guy Clinch (Theo James) are in a dive bar when Nicola Six (Amber Heard) walks in dressed in sexy mourning. The clairvoyant femme fatale can see the deaths of people. In that moment, she realizes that she has seen her eventual murderer. She lives above Samson and is a character in the story he's writing.
It's a disjointed mess. I like a few of the surreal touches but dislike a whole lot more other ones. The Enola Gay makes Guy look stupid or is the writing stupid? Or is the writer's expectations of the audience is too low? At least, the story could be about Bockscar and Fat Man. It just makes the movie stupid overall. Next, Samson Young is an unreliable narrator. He's a sleepy unreliable creator. It makes everything in the movie unreliable. In addition, Amber Heard is nothing but sex. She's an empty character. There is no motivation. She is a figment of Samson's imagination. She is a surreal fake creation of the male libido. She's a sex robot bending to each male's fantasy. Finally, there is Jim Sturgess contorting his face unnaturally beyond camp. It's completely ridiculous. With the darts playing, it reminds me of The Big Lebowski but in a bad way. There is no loveable character. There is no fun. There is no enjoyable quirkiness. This is a mess waiting for the reveal which I don't care about with characters that are not compelling.
