Being stranded on a deserted island leaves young Hank (Paul Dano) bored, lonely and without hope. As a rope hangs around his neck, Hank prepares to end it all, until he suddenly spots a man (Daniel Radcliffe) laying by the shore. Unfortunately, he is dead and quite flatulent. Using the gassy body to his advantage, Hank miraculously makes it back to the mainland. However, he now finds himself lost in the wilderness, and dragging the talking corpse named Manny along for the adventure.

Critics Consensus

Disarmingly odd and thoroughly well-acted, Swiss Army Man offers adventurous viewers an experience as rewarding as it is impossible to categorize.

Wildly strange & captivatingly unique. The weirdness is a lot but not distracting as the writing & acting are incredibly sharp. The editing, set design, & score are breathtaking with surprising thematic emotions.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This film is a brilliant film woth a ridiculous premise that works perfectly if you really think about it. It's full of heart, humor and two terrific performances by the lead actors.

Buena película, una de las cintas mas extrañas que vi. Esta es una película incómoda y bastante original, y todo esto se debe a la trama que es bastante peculiar y que permite al espectador preguntarse durante toda la película si el cadáver es real o no, ya que éste cuenta con increíbles habilidades que permitirán a Hank escapar de la isla y sobrevivir en el camino hacia casa. En cuanto a la historia, esta puede tener múltiples interpretaciones, lo cual es algo muy bueno ya que cada persona la puede ver de una manera distinta y le puede dejar un mensaje diferente; ya que debido a las diversas cosas extrañas que suceden en la historia, todas tienen su significado especifico. Una de las mejores cosas de la cinta fue su soundtrack ya que está hecho a capela y combina distintos sonidos que lo hacen emocionante y hasta épico. Por otro lado, las actuaciones son brillantes, principalmente las del dúo protagónico, los actores Daniel Radcliffe y Paul Dano hacen un fantástico trabajo y brindan una de sus mejores actuaciones. El humor manejado creo que no esta nada mal, podría ser un poco mejor en mi opinión pero tiene algunos chistes buenos. En conclusión, una buena película de comedia/fantasía, muy fácil de ver debido a su divertida y entretenida trama, la cual tiene diversas interpretaciones, lo cual me parece genial. La recomiendo.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The third act dissolves back into emo indulgence. But before then, you may just have found yourself briefly watching in wonderment, only disturbed by the nagging feeling that this is all very wrong.

Two fine actors giving full-blooded performances can't prevent Swiss Army Man from seeming pretentious and self-indulgent.

Without question one of the most unusual films of the year, Swiss Army Man shows Radcliffe can play a man who died as well as the Boy Who Lived.
