Southland Tales (2006)


During a three day heat wave just before a huge 4th of July celebration, an action star stricken with amnesia meets up with a porn star who is developing her own reality TV project, and a policeman who holds the key to a vast conspiracy.

Obviously intended as a flashy satire, the intentions in this expensive mess pretty much backfire due to a silly, incomprehensible script with multiple subplots and twists; even the characters show no coherence and the star cast seems wasted on the way.

Maltin*1/2: "Impressive cast is wasted in an overlong, overwrought wallow...Even more convoluted and disjointed than it sounds."
