Suburbicon (dir. George Clooney).
Its Coen-esque caper dark comedy about the ills of the American dream never jive with the racial social commentary and abundance of violence. It has a wealth of talent and mines Hitchcock style suspense but just ever so inelegantly to make the entire endeavour mostly off-putting, if still mildly entertaining. Clooney has somehow lost his effortless ability to combine talent and style together so vividly. The film is not so much middling as it is just imprecise and flat.
