This movie was very poor. I believe that I have seen all of his films and this one is the worst by some distance.
I’ve spent most of the day debating the inclusion of the Manson/Tate angle and can only conclude that it was included to give this movie something of a point. Otherwise this was a film that placed DiCaprio and Pitt, as an actor and stuntman, in 1969 and had them walk around with little meaning for three hours.
