Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: Some comical sexual references, mostly from the cat.
Violence & Gore:Some very disturbing violence. Partly off-screen, partly on-screen. Never-the-less, it's very bloody.
A man chops up pieces of somebody he has killed and puts it in plastic boxes.
Severed heads start talking.
Profanity: It's near-constant swearing throughout the whole movie. Lots of uses of "fuck", "shit" and other words, the majority of it coming from Jerry's cat.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: drinking at a bar is seen
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Even though this is a comedy, there are many dark and unsettling moments, and the behavior of the character Jerry can frighten some people.
Story: Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is that chipper guy clocking the nine-to-five at a bathtub factory, with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton). However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path
Likes : In some twisted sick way this film is pretty funny despite its nature, the actor & actress really play their parts to perfection. And even a bigger surprise in Ryan Reynolds actually pull this creepy mentally ill off & being good at it is why hes character comes of believable! This is is a movie i just stumbled on that popped up out of nowhere and I had never heard of it nor knew what to expect in the story way i first watch it.
I will say at First this is not a laugh out loud comedy to start with its more like a OMG smile on your face type story to beginning with which you kind of get draw into but then the story starts to become dark & then becomes bizarre as the film progresses which really dose keep you watch.
Most of the film ive seen star Ryan Reyond have been light heart comedy's & one series film safe house, but seeing him play this role was entertaining but also weird that he actually pulled this role off with perfection which was kind of creepy but i think its why he is awesome for dead pool.
Gemma Arterton is just awesome showing a comedic side to her in a sick twist way that was pretty dark if you think about it in this film, same goes to the rest of the actors & actress near perfect performance to bring this film to light.
The story line concept take you in to the mind of a mentally ill person that has multiple personality that hear voices which is where this film take on that slight twist dark sense of humor that you find yourself giggling or laughing out loud at even though you know the concept of the film is twist & dark it one of those film's.
Most of the comical moments come from the voices of the cat & dog which represent as the voice in his character Jerry head which Ryan actual did the voice overs for its become a fictional world to a mixture of reality, were seeing through both reality world & his world on drugs which is funny because out of the two animals the cat is the more sadistic of the two because you find your laughing at every comment the cat makes, this is actually clever because its the angel & devil concept on the shoulder where the dog is the angle & the cat is the devil i loved that, although this film is good it was without its flaws.But this is worth checking out if you haven't watch it yet.
Dislikes : Although this film is near perfect in acting, comedy & the dark twist tone, it felt to short of a film as it was over before it got started, you feel like there should of been more, as this felt like a very short story from a tale from the crypt keeper short.
One thing i real hate is why is it that my name is way being portrayed on screen with some weirdo or psychopath in tv some films, i swear i need to change me name lol, the other things as which is typical my ex's name Fiona played by Gemma come on already.... even though it not me being portrayed on screen kind of make you wonder why my name get portray alot in a bad way. :( not cool.
Overall : Brilliant film although short dark twist comedy that start of light heart turns in to a bizarre twist dark story worth checking out.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for concept
