The Trip

A slapstick, melodramatic, over the top, theatrical, comedy thriller bloodbath - knifing, shooting, strangling, drowning and mowing its way through so much flesh it would make Takeshi Miike proud.

This Movie from Start to Finish is on point, Acting is brilliant and the characterization is perfect.

The entertainment quotient is so high and there is not even a single dull moment in this 100mins Movie.

The Dark Humour and the Background score go so well together and this is the first time I laughed when blood went splattering all over in the movie.

The movie begins quite slow. For anyone who has seen the trailer - I kind of can imagine they might have issues with the pacing. You do expect this to be a bit over the top ... which it is, but much later on. And when it finally pulls out all the stops, it is quite the experience. Having said that, all the rewinding the movie does ... well it works the first time like a charm (even for most who have seen the trailer) ... but the second time it feels more like a cheat.

Now you can not be easily offended or faint of heart ... or having issues with blood and depictions of violence. Or quite the nasty humor if one likes to call it that. Nasty in an action kind of way. In a cut of something of someone else kind of way to be more exact. If you dig that ... go ahead and by all means cherish this ... especially the second half ... maybe rewrite the story yourself too ... no pun intended.

Up til then, you have to endure a bit of "build up" that could have been told a lot quicker and a lot shorter run time wise ... my 5 cents.

As someone who is not a huge fan of violence and gore I have to say that I was quite entertained with this crazy a** movie. The idea is so crazy it actually works! Obviously it's not a realistic movie but there's a lot of action and once you start watching it, it's hard to stop. Noomi Rapace is a very talented actress. She is doing an excellent job here!

If you enjoy dark humor, action movies and lots of violence and gore this movie is for you!

Don't think it's really a horror movie.

It's actually more like an excellent, very dark humour comedy !

Very good casting !

Love the Norwegian countryside chalet location.

Good screenplay !
