Jackson Tyler’s review:
Expectation is a funny thing. I knew it was violent and twisty in it's plotting, but no one told me it was so god damn funny. I mean guys! Why leave that out?!

The original trailer sold it as a straight-up comedy.
I never got the memo. And I'm sure at the time it was different, but personally I just felt that coming into it mostly off word of mouth, cult classic recommendations, that somewhere along the way, something happened, and I was expecting a completely different film.
As soon as those techno credits started, I knew I was about to get something that even after years of being told to watch it, that I never expected. And that's not a bad thing.
I'm so glad you liked this movie. It's just so incredibly amazing to me in every way. It literally is my perfect film.
"I am Jack's colon."
"I get cancer, I kill Jack."
Ed Norton has never been so perfectly cast. Fantastic stuff.
