    Starring: My Name is Morgan Freeman Okay, but I cannot be the only one who thought, from a certain angle, De Niro looked a heck lot like Marc Maron?! Probably was the hair. So, it seems like Freeman and the director from Poison Rose had a friendship or something…

    This is one of the few films where I can’t see why so many people don’t like it. My expectations were exceeded.

    "KIngs of Hollywood" wie "The Combeback Trail" bei uns heißt, ist bestimmt keine großartige Komödie, aber gut genug, dass man mal eine Blick riskieren kann. Mit einer starken Besetzung macht sich diese Komödie über die Filmindustrie selbst lustig. Die Besetzung umfasst…

    If I were going to compare this movie to another, I'd say that it's clearly inspired by The Producers. However instead of Mel Brooks behind the camera, we get George Gallo who doesn't have a lot of hits on his resume but he did direct Trapped in Paradise which I feel is an…

    Énorme casting : Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones et Morgan Freeman, et c'est encore la preuve que le casting ne fait pas le film.

    I had my doubts about this despite the amazing cast but "The Comeback Trail" is actually pretty fun. The laughs aren't as consistent as I would've liked and I do wish it took it's great premise a little further, this still moves by at a great pace, contains quite a few…

    If you don’t want to watch three legends try to murder each other/avoid being murdered by each other in increasingly complicated ways, then this is not the movie for you. You are also no fun 😝 Lists: 2020 Ranked

    The Comeback Trail

    Honestly not bad for what I was expecting. It’s goofy but it’s fun. The cast is great, the pacing is a little slow, the ending is kinda meh but decent enough. Leaves one plot line unresolved but overall wraps it all up. Fun watch. 7.9/10

    Could’ve been a little bit more developed. But I love the cast. It’s a shame. All these movies are going directly to streaming instead of theaters.

    This tried to be funny. And was definitely meant for a different demographic than myself.
