- 50The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyAt first, there's a certain cheesy charm to the Eurotrash '70s aesthetic, with a cast of minimally skilled actors spouting lines like, "Young lady, have you seen anything queer in the area?" But any resemblance to a coherent thesis is purely coincidental.
