Wow. This film is not good. During WWII (The Good War) a group of art enthusiasts led by George Clooney convince the government that the artwork of Europe needs to be saved from the Nazis.
If you wipe away the muck of preaching about art and overlong dull scenes of people sitting around talking. There might have been a good film in there. Especially if you concentrate on the characters played by Bob Balliban and Bill Murray. They were the only interesting people to watch. Although John Goodman and his pal from 'The Artist' came in a close second. But just when you think this film is going to take off, Clooney does another voice over and I just want to poke myself in the eye. The film ran 2 hours but felt like 10.
