💉💉💉💉💉 out of 5.

It comes down to a debate whether you like your Sunset Blvd with a lavish set that becomes a morbid decrepit character, much like its protagonist Norma Desmond – – – or whether you prefer the stripped bare, sexy, sleek, dangerous stage and Norma of the current Sunset.  I must admit that it is a bit odd to see this Norma as so much younger and more attractive than Normas of the past but this reiteration of Norma sure gets at the psychotic killer that Norma soon becomes.
