Movie Review
Grade: B-
Remember Chuck Barris, the host of "The Gong Show," the producer of "The Dating Game?" I don't, since I wasn't alive when his shows were on the air, but apparently he was also a CIA hit man that killed 33 people over the course of his career. Based on Barris' "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: An Unauthorized Autobiography," George Clooney's directorial debut is an intriguing and original movie that just isn't always very engaging.
