TUSK (2014)
Damn. When a-hole podcaster Wallace
travels to Canada to interview a guy who put out a video where he got his leg
chopped off, the guy turns out to be dead from the injury. So naturally he
finds a note in the bathroom of a dumpy place in Manitoba and decides to follow
up on the offer on the note. To visit a Mr. Howe, who has had a really crazy
life and says he has stories to tell. With that, you get a free room to stay in,
for doing a few chores. After treating his interviewee like total crap when he
gets there, Wallace wakes up the next day finding out he’s about to be turned
into a walrus by Howe. So far everyone we deal with in this damn movie is an
a-hole, that is almost impossible to root for, even remotely care about or find
even remotely interesting. The freakin end.
This is probably the worst written and
worst directed movie I have seen in the last 5 years. This is coming from
someone that purposely watches movies I think might be terrible pretty
regularly – just hoping they will be good. Every performance in this movie is
completely mailed in unless you consider screaming, freaking out and being a
total a-hole great acting. We don’t like Wallace, we don’t like Howe (clearly),
we don’t like Ally (who is cheating on Wallace with his co-host), we don’t like
any freakin buddy. Director Kevin Smith does succeed in making a pile of crap
movie where you don’t care about the characters or even what’s happening less
than half way into the movie. With a ton of flashbacks that felt like filler
written for an 80’s After School Special, I can’t only, not recommend this
movie, I actually think it’s toxic.
It’s hard to believe Smith can rock the
crap out of an episode of THE FLASH and write a fantastic movie like YOGAHOSERS, but totally screw over movie goers and his own fans with this garbage.
This movie should have either not come out at all or come with a warning
saying, “This damn movie sucks, get out of the theater while you can.”
