Written by Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson and Jaime Brown
Starring Angus Sampson, Leigh Whannell, Hugo Weaving and Georgina Haig
A first time drug mule is caught by law enforcement and kept on a 7 day watch as he tries to hold his bowels.
A dark, yet hilarious take on the legalities of drug smuggling, this film includes some of the smartest "potty" humor I've seen. If there is such a thing. The ensemble of Aussies display a great chemistry with each other, creating a tightly performed story.
Despite having such names attached as Hugo Weaving, Angus Sampson. Leigh Whannell and John Noble, it was easy to believe all of the characters and their reaction to the scenarios they faced. That is often something that is lost with such a star-studded cast.
On top of this movie being funny as hell, it's also a really good story. It takes a overused topic of drug smuggling and makes it it's own. Not once during it did I feel I had seen the movie before. I continued to second guess what I thought would happen, which in today's world is almost impossible for me. It was refreshingly new and creative, and that is the best thing a movie can be.
My Rating: 8/10
