Its probably a given to not expect much in the way of dialogue from this kind of a movie. However where there is dialogue it would be nice if it was delivered by the actors and the director so that it is not totally wooden. It's not the stars that fail to deliver. It's the supporting actors. They sound like they have never ever had any training.

The visuals are great. The scenery is stunning. The plot is non-existent. But whoever went to see Mad Max for the plot. It's all post apocalyptic road rage with lots of mutant humanoids, right?

If you want ultra violence, no dialogue, and lots of action you might consider John Wick instead. At least all of the supporting actors talk believably!

I absolutely loved this movie. My wife absolutely loathed it. How can this be so? I thought Rob Bryden was fabulous. She thought he was a bore. She like Steve Coogan. I thought Steve was alright.

My sense is that you will either love it or hate it. I think its a great format - a road movie about food with two guys who are actors, and like most actors they are utterly obsessed with themselves.... The food that they encounter along the way - well it would have been perhaps a better movie if we had found out more about it. It certainly looked brilliant. It would have been good to have found out more about the wine too.... And the lack of information may be the real failure of the movie. Nevertheless, this was a movie that brought out the belly laughs (no pun intended).

I am sure there are a lot of people who won't get this movie.

But I think that is what getting a 10 rating is all about. If you can score a ten it means that for some people to absolutely love it must mean that there are going to be a lot of people who will just turn up their noses up and move along.

What is it all about? To be honest you don't really need to know to enjoy this. But here goes in a couple of short sentences: Someone is making money out of stealing dogs and then collecting the rewards that are on offer. Someone else is trying to write a screenplay. Someone else is a mobster.... And they all fit together to create utter mayhem. You really don't know any more...

This film has enough blood spatter to keep Dexter fully occupied if he were around and a lot of four letter words.... so if those offend better not watch it.

If on the other hand you superlative writing, black comedy, an extraordinarily devious plot line and some great acting, you are going to love this. Woody Harrelson and Colin Farrell are sensational together. Christopher Walken is a delight. But for me the stand out piece of acting is Sam Rockwell. He is super! But then so is the whole cast. Its black, black, black all the way....
