Tusk (Quick Movie Reviews)

    

I'd say that, this poster, backs up the imagery of the film quite nicely. 

     

     Tusk is a weird film about a podcaster's adventure to Canada to visit a man who tells many stories about all of the adventures he went on from his past. Justin Long plays Wallace Bryton, the podcaster in pursuit for a big interview discovers a note in a bathroom at a bar, which gives Bryton the motivation to pursue a huge interview. The subject's name is Howard Howe, played by Michael Parks, who once connected with a Walrus when he was younger and now wants a subject to embody one. Weird stuff.

      Despite some of the weird subject matter and some long exposition that wasn't necessary, Tusk is a movie about animalistic instincts and one's hatred for humanity. The acting is solid, Kevin Smith does a good job with the film's direction. It's a worthy rental, if you're curious about this wayward movie. Also, it's pretty impressive to know what you can do with a $3 million dollar budget, which is the amount of money this film cost to make.

3 out of 5

Good: Nice cinematography, well-acted

Bad: Some needless exposition

Ugly: When you witness Justin Long as Man-Walrus, it's jarring stuff.
