Phantom Halo is overstuffed even before Bogdanovich starts layering in the soliloquies and comic book metaphors.June 16, 2015
"Phantom Halo" ends up as a bit of a mess, and while not an unintentional farce, it's nothing to write a soliloquy about either.June 18, 2015
This far too busy stew of various bad ideas, peppered with ridiculously overt violence, never seems to quite decide what it wants to be.June 18, 2015
Confused and tedious, "Phantom Halo" is a mess of a movie that struggles to keep itself together for 90 minutes, gradually disintegrating until all that's left are good intentions.June 16, 2015
A good idea -- con artists using Shakespeare for their hustle -- surrounded by a lot of trite and overused ones, which then take over the movie.June 19, 2015
None of it is convincing in the least, although the actors do as much as they can. "Phantom Halo" ends up feeling like a mash-up of two many other mediocre films.June 17, 2015
A genre mishmash cobbled together from the refuse of disparate visual and narrative modes.June 18, 2015
Despite the cast's obvious dedicated efforts, Bogdanovich curiously studies her characters at clinical distances, preferring to observe them rather than be them.June 19, 2015
A dark, satisfying work that can be forgiven for the moments it succumbs to Hollywood convention.June 19, 2015
Messy and confused, the film is a mishmash of tropes from Shakespeare, heist movies, family melodrama, and romance novels hastily thrown together.June 18, 2015
This film keeps reaching for cleverness but comes up with a fistful of clichés.
