Audience Member You have to be a Chiropractor or a Coen Brothers freak to know about and to get this film. It's a deranged Superhero Comic Book on film. It is hysterically funny if you get it. If not, I can understand the confusion. Fargo it ain't. Nevertheless one of my favorite films. Just met Rapaport and had him sign a few VHS copies. Great Film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie could have been good but it got a little too ridiculous. If you want to see Michael Rapaport floating in the air nude and doing summersaults several times for no reason than this is the movie for you. If not, you may want to skip this one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The detective is the true star of the show, what a champ! Also, Elvis in his last assignment Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Over looked comedy in the style of the coen brothers, really funny and strange Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member What a absolute funny Movie I love Michael Rappaport and ecscpiallz his Performance as Naked Man what a strange Story, what freaky Characters defently one of my Favourite Movies I loved also the Bogart Character that's exactlly how i imagined the Private Life of such a Character Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member What a strange film, a bit on the prentious side, also a bit fascinating as well. Good effort, but just doesn't work completely. Nicely acted, but just a little too strange. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
