Did They Swallow Mollasses?
3 March 2023
Holy crow. Two"best friends" -- nod, nod, wink, wink -- are coerced at gunpoint to swallow a bunch of condoms and deliver them at another location when they comeout for money.

We sit and watch them swallow for 12 minutes.

And that's the way the rest of the movie goes. Slow. Tedious.

Even a border stop takes about 4minutes for no payoff. Was the writing so thin they needed filler?

This movie is David Lynch slow with none of the interesting bits.

The movie proceeds with more meaningless filler. And then something does happen, only it really doesnt. It's just music telling you something ominous just occurred.

Then nothing happens again for an absurb amount of time. We're nearly half way thru the movie at this point!

They get to a cabin and a new leather-faced character, who can't act to save his life, is introduced. He's ridiculously bad. You can't imagine how bad he is. His acting is actually laughable. I thought I was watching a parody.

Man this was just plain stoopid. The basic story is interesting and at at the hands of a far more capable writer/director it could have been a solid flick. Unfortunately we wait too long for the payoff and it really never comes.
