Corndog Man was a pleasant surprise. Slow to start, it drew me in and kept me interested to the surprising end.
The movie consists of an unseen man calling up a boat salesmen and repeatedly harassing him. I never see any trace that the actor is performing--I totally believe every moment of Ace Barker, except for a subplot exposing him as a hypocrite that didn't work for me. The inventive profanity, along the lines of the drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket, makes for memorable dialog, which is what the movie relies on, along with the performance of the lead actor. The movie builds scene by scene, and the reveal of the backstory was an interesting surprise. Worth multiple viewings.
