"The Audition" is a 15-minute short film promoting the opening of Melco-Crown's movie-themed resort and casino in Macau. I guess they really wanted to make it a special event if they offered enough money to get DiCaprio, Pitt and De Niro on board. Also this one is directed by Martin Scorsese and was written by Terence Winter. The two also made "The Wolf of Wall Street". And DiCaprio is in this one as well of course. This is the first time that Pitt and DiCaprio appear together in a movie and maybe the only time. Let's see what the future brings. Anyway, this is not too great of a movie. The actors and Scorsese all play themselves in slightly more over-the-top versions. The dialogs weren't really that great and basically it is just what you could expect: a promo ad for a new casino. Wish this had better dialogs and more interesting action, but it's not the case unfortunately and the actors also seem pretty hammy and over the top here. Not recommended.
