RottenTomatoes Score: 76% (6.8/10 average) Box Office: Though made on a relatively low budget, the movie's limited release in the U.S. saw it gross merely $5,000, and even strong VOD sales will likely make it a commercial bust, which given the dark subject matter isn't too surprising. Ryan Reynolds turns in one of his finest performances here as a mentally ill man being persuaded by his cat to become a serial killer, all while his dog tries to advise him against it. In addition to playing the protagonist, Reynolds voices the two animals among other characters, in what is a delightfully dark, risky project with a truly strange choice for director in Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis). Pretty much destined to become a grimly funny cult classic over the years, the movie more than makes up for its meager box office showing with a boatload of inventiveness, even if Lionsgate might not agree.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
