With the release of an unwatchable passion project, JacobOller is here to plead: Oscar Isaac, please quit enabling things like Big Gold Brick
to wonder if “blackmail, extortion and/or just plain bribery” was involved. Isaac’s character is described in the official material as being the “deranged cousin” of Petsos’. Maybe Isaac just wasn’t getting to be wacko enough in mainstream fare, because from there, Petsos capitalized on the actor’s name and willingness to do variations on the same over-the-top act in a pair of embarrassing short films, starting with 2014’s.
. Its headline proclaims the short features “The Most Insane Oscar Isaac Performance Yet,” though they must have skippedfrom a few years prior. Half of Isaac’s dual performance as that film’s villain is the exact same kind of unhinged gun-toting gangster oddball as that inis poorly paced and stagnant, with even Isaac’s handsome mug failing to bring much energy to the tepid attempts at humor or the gunplay standing in for narrative.
The latter two seem most likely when considering his role—as both bit player and executive producer—in the dire. In the casually racist, impossibly sexist wannabe Kaufman comedy, Isaac plays Anselm Vogelweide, a big-time crook whose sports betting is interfered with over the course of the movie’s incoherent narrative. Fine, sure, whatever. Half his glasses are faded into a patch and he’s doing ato the extent that he’s nearly incomprehensible.
