**Two strangers in an unusual circumstance take a weirdest journey.** My initial thought was this is a new version of 'Weekend at Bernie's', but very soon I realised it is not. This film is a bit disgusting. Watching alone makes okay or with the close buddies, but not good for beyond that. I totally appreciate the effort and obviously the fresh idea for a film from the Hollywood, but the film is not a masterpiece or entertaining. Because a plot like this is not worth for a 90 minute stretch. It should have been a short film or the story should have developed to a better one. There are lots of questions regarding the film. The film did not detail everything it showed, so that's the first negative about it. It opened with a young man stranded on a tiny island who tries to commit suicide, but abandons the plan and takes a weirdest ride in the sea seeking land to get rescued by its people. Though he's not alone, a strange young man accompanies him. So it's like theirs journey of self-discovery, but how it all ends is the crucial final segment. Both the young actors were good in theirs very challenging roles, particularly Daniel Radcliffe. The directors too to be praised for managing to pull it off so well. But it was the screenplay that did not deliver as I anticipated. The film was different, but nothing impressive at all, so I think it is good for watching at once. Maybe if I understand or get the answers for my doubts, I might change might stance. For now this is an average film. _5/10_

<em>'Swiss Army Man'</em> is bonkers, but then I expected it to be so having seen this directing duo's most recent flick; 2022's <em>'Everything Everywhere All at Once'</em>. It does, at least to me, feel a little thin in parts, though it all ends up coming together nicely. I only knew that Daniel Radcliffe was in this, Paul Dano was not someone I was expecting to see make an appearance. The casting is great though, both of them are excellent all the way through. At no point was I wishing to see any other characters, those two are perfectly enough. A movie that makes fart jokes work - if that's not the best compliment to receive, then I don't know what is. It's absurd, but fantastically so. Oh, and its got neat music, love "A Better Way".
