I want to say this just to get it out of the way, while I really liked this film and it's surreal nature, I hope to hell I never have to see another film like this ever again. I say that because quite honestly this film shouldn't work and while it does, I hate to think of all the copycats that this may spawn.
This is a documentary about a bunch of gamers who decide to perform Hamlet in the world of the video game Grand Theft Auto. This means that as the actors are performing weird things are going on around them and some times people show up just to shoot them dead.
Yes, it is as WTF as that sounds. Yes it is screamingly funny at times. Yes some of this doesn't work....
...and yet you can't look away. I went from "you must be joking" and wanting to turn it off in the first couple of minutes to finding I was half way through the film and dying to know how it came out. This is a film that just grabs you and pulls you along.
Oh, the wonders I've seen.
This is a one of a kind film that is going to make you laugh, make your mouth hang open, and delight the snot out of you.
AN absolute joy
Recommended for anyone who wants an atypical film that isn't from Hollywood.
