Best movie of this year hands down!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is a quirky dark comedy that is rather pointless and moves slow. In spite of that I found myself enjoying the characters and the scenes.After an all night visit of Harry (Brian Petsos) with his cousin Cecil (Oscar Isaac) drinking beers and playing Candyland, the unkempt Harry comes to find that his dog Jolly, the love of his life, has committed a "Philadelphia suicide." Clearly Harry has made someone angry, a conversation of which we get bits and pieces. Our beer drinking, pill popping, dreary eyed, greasy haired twosome set out to find the killer, leaving a trail of blood as they go.I found myself laughing at this low budget Redbox rental. This is not Tarantino grade dark comedy, but clearly he was an influence. Enjoyable, slow at times, especially the beginning. Things pick up about the time Elijah Wood enters the film. Well worth a rental. Will add to my collection when the price drops.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex. No nudity.

I really enjoyed this movie.The plot is darkly funny, with elements of Kill Bill and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but all with an absurdist twist.The main characters are both strangely believable, in amongst all the insanity of the plot. Their emotional connection is plausible and well done. Cartoon violence is interspersed with some relatively poignant and deep dialogue. If you have seen Llewyn Davis then one side of the dialogue will seem vaguely familiar - the same actor brings his brooding, terse delivery to this movie with good effect.Overall, I would definitely recommend watching this. Ideally late at night after a few drinks for authenticity...

You will find out watching the movie of course. Only if you like low budget movies that are violent, with a lot of puns in them that is. The movie managed to get quite a good cast together (which partly owed to the fact, that most actors are in it for a few minutes). You'll either love that "I know him" game, that is going to happen or you're going to wish there was more meat to some characters (no pun intended).It will be apparent where this is going early on and it might feel a bit repetitious at times (once again, swearing and blood). But while that works against the movie, it's still fun to watch. So no big surprises here, but a fun little action comedy

I've had this movie on my Watchlist since it first popped up. A comedic overly-serious bloody revenge flick over the murder of a dog? Plus this cast? Count me in. I love "stupid" movies (see Smiley Face, The Ten). Sadly, it's not very good. The concept is pretty funny. The sincerity in which the characters behave adds to the ridiculousness of the plot. But there's a shockingly small amount of humor. I appreciate subtle comedy, but it's nearly non-existent here. There is a funny moment where a character freaks out about getting ranch dressing on his pants, but that's about it. It doesn't help that the two main guys are dull and unlikeable. I wanted to root for the main guy, cuz I'd totally wanna react the same way if anyone hurt my pets, but I ended up thinking he and his cousin were just a-holes. But their real problem is they just recent interesting enough to make me care. Finally, and worst of all, the film completely wastes Kristen Wiig. I'm all for seeing her in different kind of roles, but different here doesn't mean better. I feel like I'm being harsh, but I feel that it would be unfair to make excuses for the film just because of the goodwill I had built up toward it. I wish I liked it more than I I did. That's probably the best thing I can say.
