The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama.
Wenders creates an imaginative, stylized cityscape, but what's missing is the compelling story that could bring the setting to life.
Conceived by U2's Bono, it's not quite as bad as it might have been. After all, its own star, Mel Gibson, has famously called this tale of destitute misfits "as boring as a dog's a——."
A fantasy, a fairy tale, but its characters and the emotions they elicit become painfully real.
The film isn't very good. The Million Dollar Hotel is an uneasy melding of Hollywood shtick and art-house sensibilities.
How this hopelessly muddled and tedious dirge got released -- unless it was through the clout of Mel Gibson, who's grafted on as an FBI agent in a neck brace, with no discernible connection to the action -- is the real mystery.
