Inherently bizarre

Inherent Vice (2014)

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson this film based on the novel of the same name stars Joaquin Pheonix, Josh Brolin, Katherine Waterston and Owen Wilson. A stoner working as a PI is visited by a former girlfriend and drawn into a complex world of crime.

Sitting somewhere between being a satire of the LA neo noir and a stoner comedy this is certainly a unique film. The plot is so full of coincidence it is hard to take seriously but is entertaining through out even if too intricate and strays some from it's source material. There are plenty of hidden jokes through out the film that are worth watching out for and they certainly make this film entertaining.


4/5
