When a film's run time is as long as Lord of the Rings, you expect either an epic saga or some very developed characters. Killers of the Flower Moon impressively offers us neither.
We plod along with a talented cast, some nice sets, and an interesting setting. Our trip through Osage County is accompanied by a brooding darkness and tension that kept me engaged, but the end destination was underwhelming.
When the films ends, you'll view Killers of the Flower Moon as a wasted opportunity. The storytelling just isn't there. If Scorsese can't make a mysterious genocide and cover up in the early West interesting, it's a damning fall from grace for one of Hollywood's great directors.
