A review by JPV852

While I can admire the production design recreating the 70s and 80s and a great performance from Burt Reynolds, I didn't find this terribly engaging. The first part and last section were very good but found the middle to be meandering. I didn't think the various character arcs came together (compared to Magnolia which I loved) and I think 15-20 minutes could've been removed. Still, it's worth watching at least. **3.25/5**
