Ah, 'Cleopatra's Gambit,' a movie that dares to ask the question, 'What if we mashed up a history class and a circus with a sprinkle of PG-13 safe action?' Tarantulino, oh dear Quentin, known for his 'subtle' sarcastic wit, has crafted a tale as believable as Steven Sea-salad's attempt at femme fatale. Indeed, a performance that could only be outshone by his name, if only the Oscar for 'Best Drag of an Ancient Queen' existed. Then there's James D'Parsley, whose charm couldn't quite steal the show, but perhaps a few hearts of those who are into dashing rogues with the depth of a shot glass. As for Seahorse Connery, the saving grace, lending the gravitas of a Latin textbook, truly a testament to the phrase 'those who can't do, teach.' Together, they navigate a 'thrilling' ride as twisty as a pretzel, and just as salty. Between the lines of 'In war, trust is the first casualty,' lies the unspoken truth: in movies, logic is the second. Let's not forget the ancient secrets that are about as reborn as my expired milk. It's a film that could alter the course of history... by making it slightly more nonsensical.
