Rather than carefully weaving Coen-esque absurdity with Hitchcockian thrills, it jumps from one to another without care.

The journey there is worth taking, but it’s hard not to wish that Holland had gone a little madder, or attacked its themes a little harder, rather than building itself such a neat escape route.

Andrew Sodorski’s script, which has bounced around Hollywood for a decade, has come out a half-baked mess. Cave’s role is to toss a layer of visual irony over it all and hope no one notices.

But we finally hit a dud with Amazon Prime’s “Holland.” Lest the sight of her preternaturally tight face peeking out from a Dutch cap intrigue you, I must warn you that it’s not very good and it’s actually kind of unpleasant.
