Well, that was wild.


I appreciated how unafraid this movie was to be completely over the top, even to the point of absurdity. It was kind of refreshing, actually.

I saw the poster and thought it interesting. What 's your rating?

I give it a 6/10.

It's stylistically unique, the performances are memorable, and it has some entertainingly humorous moments, so I think it's worth seeing. The downsides are the simplistic plot (the story is in sore need of some places where our expectations are subverted) and the pacing (which is definitely slower than it should be in an obvious attempt to make more time to revel in the film's trippy cinematography).

Style over substance is the cardinal sin of this film, but the style is certainly worth checking out!

Also, if you're a fan of black comedy and gore (think Sam Raimi) I wouldn't miss it.
