    I wasn't sure what to think...
    If you ask me to describe this movie in one word, I would go with 'Weird'.

    This is one of those weird movies with a shallow-looking surface that contains more beneath its exterior; almost like the iceberg effect, just not as intricate.

    The interesting thing about this movie is that even though I had watched its trailer beforehand, I still wasn't sure what to expect. So, as the plot unraveled itself, I was taken by surprise multiple times.

    If you are into slapstick comedy along with some dark humour and a bit of action, this movie is for you. I also liked this movie's unusual style. I should also give credit to its beautiful cinematic effects and vivid colors. Hope you also enjoy it!
