    ★★★★

    An entertaining bloody action comedy carried by a charming performance from Jack Quaid. There isn't too much to its premise, the plot twists are rather telegraphed, but the set pieces are fun and inventively brutal, and the supporting cast featuring Amber Midthunder and Jacob Batalon is very likeable. Ray Nicholson stands out as the cruel and sadistic antagonist, a character cut from the same cloth as his father Jack's most memorable roles in a major way.

    ★★★

    A fascinating sci-fi premise that loses momentum a bit too quickly. The characters are as broad as the social commentary, there's nothing here Bong Joon Ho hasn't said more eloquently before, and the scope is surprisingly limited. Robert Pattinson's versatility keeps the picture from being a slog though.

    Daring, disgusting, ridiculous, and surprisingly touching, it's a weird little gem of a picture loaded with scatalogical humor, excellent cinematography, creature effects that range from awe-inspiring to laughably bad, and an abundance of genuine emotion. If anything, the feature is quite an achievement in visual storytelling. It's certainly not for everyone, but those with a healthy appreciation for the absurd and in the mood for something radically different will find much to love about this one.

    ★★

    Sold on a fun premise and an all-star cast, comedian Charlie Day's feature directorial debut unfortunately falls quite flat. The one-note gag of a uniquely docile mystery man stumbling his way through the Hollywood system runs out of steam after about 15 minutes. Day's talent for physical comedy is on full display but it's squandered on an undercooked story that eventually aims for earnest but completely misses the mark.
