WIDOWS: Viola Davis heads up a stellar cast in this "wanna-be" thriller about a heist. And while it tries its best to be a crowd pleaser (some violence, some explosions and some blood letting), it is simply too tedious at the on-set and although tough as nails, at times, it simply falls short when all is said and done. I won't go into the plot for fear of giving too much away. Suffice it to say that the entire cast is first-rate, the more notable names being Liam Neeson, Robert Duval, Colin Farrell and Lucas Haas with Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Rodriquez and Cynthia Erivo filling out the four "wanna-be" heisters. With lots of political overtones and some wonderful twists along the way, I still left feeling a bit "used" and confused. The ending was too abrupt with too many questions left unanswered. So proceed at your own risk. I can't wholeheartedly recommend it.
