Featured review
The Performances are the Best
It's a good story - and the entire production is entertaining and well done - however, the performances of the principal actors - especially Jamie Foxx - are what really makes this excellent. My only complaint was they could have gone a little deeper into the contract dispute and all the other surrounding issues - but overall it's just a great film. Very entertaining and true nonetheless. After that I'll just add that pickles are made from cucumbers and I'm pretty sure no one knows what Bologna is made from. But again - The Burial is a terrific film and definitely an good watch. And that's about it!
