To me, this was a sendup or throwback (maybe even parody) of generic "bad cop" films. Does it ever exceed that? Not at all. Is it funny? Hell yes. The thing that elevates this movie is the cast; the script and direction is fine but works best when it's simply getting the characters to where they need to be without dragging. It's formulaic by design and maybe that's what people ding it for but I was on board from start to finish. Shame this wasn't just released on a streaming service from the beginning, I think it would've found it's audience a lot quicker.

You for sure will feel the 2+ hour runtime but I assure you every scene is necessary. This goes from being an impressive blend of seemingly unrelated moments to you frantically trying to connect it all by the end. The characters may be presented as grotesque puppets or just chicken scratches on smudged paper, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's an unpretty film to look at. They're animated so well and the characters/story is so fascinating you just want to hang out in this Halloween-ish looking world. Highly recommend and hope this director gets to make another film that hopefully won't take another 15 years to complete.

Delivered the chill folksy scenes, some incredible action, and at the very last second floored the gas in ways I never knew "Mr Inbetween" was capable of. Glad it's going out on top but it's sad to see such an amazing one of a kind show leave us while there's so many other programs that will go on and win awards and get more of an audience. Whatever, I feel so fortunate I discovered this and followed it up to the end. Scott Ryan delivered not only one of the best performances I've ever seen but one of the best written seasons of television I've ever seen, can't wait to see what this dude does next.
