Review of Phil Spector

Phil Spector (2013 TV Movie)
4/10
HBO has spoiled me -- I was expecting more
25 March 2013
To be honest, I didn't make it all the way through this film -- which isn't saying much, considering the short running time. But based on what I did see, I agree with most of the posters here that it left me with a question mark over my head bigger than Al Pacino's afro. I will take any excuse to watch the likes of Pacino, Helen Mirren and Jeffrey Tambor act -- I love all three of them. So, when this hit an overall sour note with me, I was trying to figure out why. At the end of the day, I find Phil Spector so creepy, that I guess I couldn't stay interested in a film seemingly dedicated to showcasing his legal team and raising reasonable doubt as to his guilt. Even HBO couldn't save this, which is saying a lot. For me, the best part (and probably most telling) was the very clever subtitle: "The Truth is Somewhere in the Mix". I would say the point of this was somewhere in the mix, and if anyone finds it, please let me know.
