Operation Avalanche — 3/5
I'm in a Matt Johnson hole, enamored with 'Nirvanna the Band The Show The Movie', watching the original web series and checking out his earlier movies. I think this movie continues his thread of pure inventiveness. I think there's a theory of making stuff where if you're having fun, the audience will have fun, and that shows, but it also shows how far his tone will take you. The movie wants to at points be a thriller, but resting on his shoulders as the main actor, it can only go so far in that direction (save for a genuinely exciting and apparently improvised car chase scene). It's basically OJ Simpson's "If I Did It" but with the moon landing, and feels about as silly and plausible as that must have felt.
