The Rat Pack
Director: Rob Cohen
Year: 1998
Stars: Ray Liotta, Don Cheadle, Joe Mantegna
I recorded this a while ago, and have been avoiding watching it ever since. I'm not totally sure why I recorded it, as I was expecting it not to be very good. However, I was looking for something easy and relaxing to watch so thought I'd give it a go.
Perhaps one of the reasons I recorded the film was because it was about the original rat pack - Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin etc. They're a group I don't know much about, but I was curious to learn a little more. This film focuses on their lives at the point in time when JFK became president, and how they were involved in that.
It's not a terrible film, it's just, well, a little dull. I didn't really believe any of the actors as their counterparts (Liotta as Sinatra especially bugs me for some reason), and the film didn't move fast enough and wasn't interesting enough to keep my attention.
Rating: 2 out of 5
