Director/Writer John Michael McDonah Wow-Ed Critics with His First 2 Low-Budget Gems, Filmed in Ireland..."The Guard" (2011) and "Calvary" (2014).
In His 3rd Outing the Film-Maker is Less-Concerned with Verisimilitude or "Heaviness" of Statement that can "Change the World" from its Madness.
He Lets Loose with what can be Very Annoying Characters Doing Very Outlandish and Over-the-Top Behavior Slinging One-Liners and Biting Sarcasm Relentlessly Running Amok Throughout.
It's the Kind of Film that You Must "Check-In" and be Ready for the Onslaught of a "Fever-Dream" and Capitulate to the Film's Misanthropic Tone of Death and Destruction.
The Script Takes No Prisoners. It's Wild, Colorful, Anti-Everyone and at Times Reminds of Pre-Code "Marx Brothers" with the Modern-Art Insensibility of Wes Anderson.
It is the Directors 3rd Best Film out of 3, but Make No Mistake, this is a Rare-Bird, an Odd-Duck, and the Cutting-Edge Irreverence may be an Endangered Species.
Not for Everyone, but...
Worth a Watch
For those that can Take It.
