Nightmare Alley suffers from pacing issues as it essentially packs two movies into one.

Mixes equal parts Clue and Memento for an exciting howdunit more than a whodunit.

Packs the screen with Hollywood heavyweights and fills each of their characters with enough charisma to rouse a coma ward.

Sadly only inherits the bad habits of the worst M. Night Shyamalan films.

A film bursting with potential that slowly deflates like an overfilled balloon.
