Hypable Movie Review: ‘Salmon Fishing in the Yemen’ sabotages itself with a terrible final act

Director Lasse Hallström and screenwriter Simon Beaufoy have created an oddity in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, an unbalanced yet quite endearing story, which relies a little too heavily on the charisma and talent of stars Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt. Beginning in a very peculiarly endearing manner, the first two acts majorly work despite its unusual premise, as the opening starts off brisk, fun and intriguing but unfortunately completely falls apart, as the final act ruins everything which preceded it.
