The film constructs its chaotic universe by mashing together a prison-break adventure, slapstick comedy, and sporadic horror beats. It relies on relentless momentum and cartoonish characters to fuel its absurd plot.
Those who tire of conventional narratives may find delight in this unapologetically bizarre ride. What lingers after the credits is the sheer audacity of its execution. — MovieFinder Editorial
