Harmony Korine returns to coastal Florida with his own unique alternative style of filmmaking. His new film is a surreal, intoxicating visual experience that almost demands being seen on the big screen, more so than any of his previous work. Korine can be proud of creating such an ethereal work of colors and moods. The only catch is that's all you should look for in this film.
A professional assassin who takes great pride in his craft prepares to take on a sadistic gangster. The plot, character development and dialogue are not going to be the basis for seeing this film, mostly because the structure of all the above is so minimal to the point of malnourishment.
None of this is meant to imply that Korine cannot be a powerful storyteller. Anyone who remembers his work in "Kids" back in the day will know how edgy and provocative his ideas can be. But again, the understanding is that here you are not looking for anything profound or insightful. This is a kaleidoscopic fever dream that will put a smile on your face if you know what to expect going in. Recommended to those who can throw conventional expectations to the wind, if only for once.
