Jack, a social outcast, is thrust out of his comfort zone when the
outside world bangs on his door and he can't contain his violent past.
Storyline
Jack's in a rut. Depression and severe anti-social behavior has whittled
down his existence to sleeping and watching television. Seeing the
human race as little more than meat with a pulse, Jack has no interest
to bond with anyone. There's little purpose for him to make friends with
someone he'd eventually eat or outlive by more than a millennia. The
fuse is lit when Jack's past comes back to rattle him. Jack must now
walk a tight rope of sobriety and try to eat as few people as possible
in this violent tale of personal responsibility.
User Reviews
I
am a big fan of Henry Rollins ever since he was rocking on MTV, but in
this film he outdid himself. I cannot imagine a more perfect role for
him than this grumpy indestructible man who just wants to be left
alone... for your sake.
But it isn't only that. The script made me think of many things and very often made me laugh out loud. Maybe I loved the film so much because I identify with the character, but in so many ways it is a deconstructive story, and I always like what makes me question the way things are and makes me think on how they could or even should be.
Rollins doesn't seem to need to act, he just shows up, but look at the films he chose to be in: Feast, Suck and this to top them off. The movie is one of those rare art pieces where you enjoy every part of the story, every line of dialogue and you don't give a rat's ass about special effects or production values. I loved the movie!
