This is a bad movie.

In over 20 years I was amazed that even with a collaboration of writers they could not really come up with a story and a story line that was almost exactly the same as the one 20 years ago. Its a road movie with some criminal traveling with them, they play a gag on him he dies, they are in pursuit of a woman, this time they think its the daughter of Harry Dunne.

Some of the sight gags were funny, but not funny enough, but most were not funny at all. This was a very disappointing movie and I cannot recommend it.

Excellent movie – 100% WILL RECEIVE multiple academy award nominations, perhaps even best picture. However this movie is hard to watch because of the depictions of constant abuse of power and horrible abuse of a group of young men and specifically one young man.

The best example in a movie I have ever seen of “Power corrupts absolutely”. The acting is great throughout the movie and the scenes of abuse are both powerful but hard to sit through.

I highly recommend this movie.

Very obviously a very good movie and a very good idea for a movie.

However, in the attempt to be new and different, several of the story directions and scenes either made no sense or were so unbelievable or convoluted that they just made no sense or were just too far fetched.

While its definitely very hard to be new and different, you kind of wish that more thought was put into a better ending and as far as one ending – I completely knew that this would happen long before I saw this movie.

This movie is very good, but I thought that the main point and the actual conclusion just didnt make much sense.

I recommend this movie
