How do you even review something like this?
This really is not for everyone and that is just fine. The plot isn't anything special, but it's the experience that matters, good or bad. Chainsaws, 80's revenge, and Cage. The whole movie is a drug trip with the climax being the overdose. The trippy visuals and colors are just outstanding and really stick out.
It's one of Cage's best work in years and also one of his best freak outs, as you're not sure to laugh or cry with him. It was very odd, yet strangely moving. You really do feel his pain both physically and emotionally. I wish we see Cage in more great stuff, than becoming another meme.
The score is so melancholia and beautiful, which instantly caught my attention. Capturing the despair of love and the taste of sweet revenge. RIP Jóhann Jóhannsson.
