    So clearly the idea of making Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger twins was where the idea started and ended for this movie. 

    Weak in its exploration of such a complex concept and it never even tries to explain the crazy science that must need to happen to take the ejaculate of five individual men and create a “advanced” baby that way. Ludicrous film.

I hope future generations of artists look at this film, Parasite, and Memories of Murder and see how you can raise any script to be more with useful directing. Top notch shit here. 

    Captain Creampie is what I will call people I hate from now on. Done and done.

    Beautiful production for such a sinister story. 
    A genuine quest across the Earth, searching for the true story of your own mother, and finding out that she killed a high ranking political figure would have been more than enough to write home about.
    The fact that the story continued beyond just a gun fired at el presidente…uhhhhh yeah you’re going to want to strap in for the harshest look at the realities of war and civil unrest in this modern…
