Midweek Mention... The Birthday Cake

In this short episode of Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Reegs and Cris (with Dan away) review The Birthday Cake, the 2021 New York mob thriller and debut feature of Jimmy Giannopoulos, starring Ewan McGregor, Val Kilmer, Jeremy Allen White, William Fichtner, Lorraine Bracco and Luis Guzman. They discuss the plot, the poisoned cake, the handheld and out-of-focus visual style, the rushed dialogue and why a great cast is not enough, and land on a not-recommend.
