Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
James Dean does not look like James Dean - more like Leonardo di Caprio in What's eating Gilbert Grape.
Robert Pattinson's acting skills were not up to the task either - the photographer did not come alive in this movie.
I found it very hard to build any empathy for any of the persons on the screen. The only interesting scene is the Ben Kingsley scene.
There is no action - at all. At the same time, the movie takes itself extremely serious - pretentious is what I would say. Melodramatic Jazz instrumentals accompany boring monologues of the James Dean-not-look-alike.
I walked out after an hour, stumbled on this in a sneak - definitely not amusing. Maybe only for die-hard James Dean fans, if you can tolerate the miscast main character. Or if you are a fan of the "iconic" James Dean shots (which I am not - hype is not my thing.)
