So I recently watched Our Brand Is Crisis and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
An American woman (played by Sandra Bullock), well-versed in political campaigns, is sent to the war-torn lands of South America to help install a new leader but is threatened to be thwarted by a long-term rival (played by Billy Bob Thornton).
This is an absolutely dreadful film. When you look at the films plot and who all is in it, you kind of expect it to be a big political drama with a lot of emotion and you end up getting more of a comedy than a drama. Now granted the film is a dramedy (comedy/drama), but there just isn't enough drama to really qualify as a dramedy. The performances are the best part of the film and that's mainly attributed to the former Academy Award winning actress Sandra Bullock and Academy Award nominated actor Billy Bob Thornton. When they are both on screen together they have tremendous chemistry and they should've been on the screen together more. Outside of that the performances are pretty weak, bland, boring and uninteresting. The plot seems like there might be a few redeeming qualities, but there just nothing to sink your teeth into. Overall this is a film that doesn't know what it wants to be genre wise, but the performances are enough for you to at least check out the film somewhere else other than a movie theater. I give Our Bran is Crisis a 2 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Our Brand is Crisis, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
