The Coen brothers have made 17 movies. Hail, Caesar! is another one.

It deals with a man buffeted by fate as he navigates a tricky world to do what is right and correct the wrongs of injustice which had been done against him or his family.

No this isn't Raising Arizona. No this isn't No Country For Old Men. No this isn't A Serious Man. No this isn't Barton Fink.

This isn't one of those which are much better films than this one. Although I would argue that it does kind of remind me of A Serious Man. Not the best, not the worst. It fits right into the Coen oeuvre.

3 of 5 stars.
