This absolute blast of an action film delivers a true Hollywood high. It very well could be the movie that saves the summer box office.

An unsettling triptych of stories that hits all of the director’s high notes: macabre and funny, yet also disturbing and cruel.

There’s plenty of blood and gore to appease slasher fanatics along with hefty themes about sex, opportunity, religion, and Hollywood’s dark underbelly.

Romanticizes masculinity in a way that’s reminiscent of classic Hollywood, which is a refreshing surprise.

Overstuffed and bland to a fault, the film struggles so mightily to be a crowd pleaser that it squanders most of the charm and authenticity that could have made it something special.
