An arrogant podcaster is flying to Canada for his show but ends up a prisoner by a mentally deranged old man who wants to turn him into a walrus.
I had to watch it again. Well, not really. But I did, anyway. It is a film that my mate Ben and I discussed years ago, and it was most definitely… challenging! Everything about Tusk is beyond understanding. The concept, first and foremost, is an old man kidnaps you to make you a walrus. Still, it’s not The Human Centipede (2009), but that’s meant to be a sick, disgusting, stitching-ass-to-mouth horror. Something that brings me to another beyond-understanding point is that… this is a Kevin Smith film. The guy who brought us the Clerks franchise, Chasing Amy (1997), and Dogma (1999). But then he also brought us Red State (2011), so I don’t know why I act surprised.
Tusk is a film that will shock you and disgust you if you know nothing about it. There is nothing I can say to make it make it more appealing or more difficult to watch. One thing I can say is that the cast nails it! Shockingly amazing team!!! Kevin Smith has experimented over the years. Cop Out (2010) was not my thing. If you asked me, it’s probably his most indifferent work to date. But the rest of his work is very appealing and interesting. He is a comic book nerd who has challenged and defied a lot of Hollywood taboos over the years. You’re gonna love it or loathe it. Regardless, think about this: Punishment for being a pompous a$$hole has also its limits.
Ben, that’s for you, my mate. I hope my review makes it to the land of the rising sun…
I bid farewell to the one and only Sean Connery. Rest in peace, sir!
Happy Halloween!
