Big Gold Brick

While "Big Gold Brick" has some strengths, such as its shifting tone and strong lead performances, it ultimately falls short with a weak plot and unengaging characters.

Big Gold Brick is aggressively dull to the point where its near unwatchable. The concept isn't terrible, but the plot feels like a collection of ideas thrown together without any though given to the structure, flow or pacing. The goofy characters (& performances), the surreal hallucinations, the crime elements; all act in disharmony, resulting in off-putting vibe that undermines any character development. It isn't funny, nor entertaining, nor upsetting...it's the film equivalent of tepid water.
