Reviews
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
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.
