Featured review
How does this have so many positive reviews?
Why are there reviews talking about how funny this movie is? There is nothing funny about it.
You would think that maybe this would be a story of redemption but no, Instead we get a self absorbed loser as the protagonist that doesn't have a single redeeming quality.
And lets talk about the elephant in the room, what was that ending? I re-watched the last 30 minutes to see if I could catch anything that indicated the ending was all his little fantasy but didn't see anything. It should have ended with him waking up naked in the street in a pool of his own blood and busted teeth.
Hopefully this movie serves as some sort of springboard for Suzanna Son as she was the only bright spot.
