Plot-holes You Could Drive A Bus Through
I was intrigued by the premise; a story one could watch in any order with the strings being drawn together on an impossibly complex and ingenious robbery. Sadly, Kaleidoscope shoots, but does not score.
The rather convoluted timelines are completely arbitrary and add nothing to the story itself. The typically excellent Giancarlo Esposito stumbles through the entire show looking perplexed at how he ended up being talked into this project. The balance of the cast might as well be cardboard cut-outs save for the excellent Jai Courtney in the role of the vile, but immensely watchable Bob Goodwin.
Hugely stylish and slick cinematography and art direction, fail by some way to salvage an empty, pointless and hackneyed heist story that is far more pleased with itself than it has any right to be.
