I really like Amy Ryan, she was great in "The Wire" and marvellous in "Lost Girls", but I don't think she was right for this part at all. Rosanna Arquette showed how to play an aging "rock chick" in a great little movie, coincidentally named "Sugar Town".
I didn't like Colin Farrell in "True Detective" and I thought he was extremely disappointing here too. I get that the character was suitable for playing in a kind of deadpan, world-weary way, but he didn't carry it off. The dull-as-dishwater voice over was woefully under-written and inadequate.
The clips from old movies were okay, some worked better than others. The gun that Glen Ford used in "The Big Heat" was a pretty little touch and gave me brief hope that the series might turn out okay. It didn't.
