Reviews
hyped garbage
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
