This contains spoilers. What
the fuck did I just watch? I have never said that sentence in a
good way. Maybe after I go to a strip club for the first time I will.
I just finished watching the movie Tusk written and directed by Kevin
Smith. I am a huge fan of his movies for the most part. Six of his 11
films I have liked which is a good track record even if he were a
fighter. This was not one of them. I'd heard of its development from
listening to his podcast and was excited to finally get the chance to
check it out. I totally could've lived without seeing this.
This
is about a guy played by Justin Long that is on a podcast that heads
to Canada to make fun of an interview a kid that chopped his leg off
playing with a sword. He gets there and the kid has killed himself.
He finds an ad with a guy played by Michael Parks offering lodging
and also has some good stories to tell. He gets there and is drugged
by the old man and told that he is going to be turned into a walrus.
Meanwhile back at home his co-host and girlfriend are having the sex
with each other.
His
girlfriend and friend get a message saying he has been captured and
they head there to see what happened to him. They find someone that
is also trying to find him played by Johnny Depp. They eventually
find him and he is in a fight to the death with the guy that turned
him into a walrus.
This
movie...I can't. It didn't make me laugh, smile, cringe, or feel
anything for the characters in it. Its the same problem I have with
most horror or gore films made today. Everyone is an asshole. I have
to care about someone to be concerned if they are gonna survive or
not. There are no likable people in this so I don't care for anyone
other than thinking that it sucks that they're in the situation
they're in. So-so acting. Bad effects. Crumby story. I can't recommend watching this to anyone.
