It's time for the Majestic review....

...RED SCARE!!!!

It makes a play at it in the very start of the film. It loudly proclaims that, HEY, WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT'S ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST!!!!! And it does it as loud as it can...

...and then it kind of forgets what the movie is about up until the last 15 minutes.

However, the bulk of the movie does seem like the kind of film that would fit in the Hollywood Blacklist Era. The plot, the acting, the setting, all seems to be very much a 1950s feel good movie...

...and then it veers off again and delivers on the 1s...read the rest
