I bought Firecracker DVD on Ebay. I really like Mike Patton's music and though it's not secret that rock musicians don't always make great actors I wanted to see some action from General P. Well, watching Mike was fun. He delivers the same malicious persona he exploits in, say, Mr. Bungle. Actually it reminded me of kid's play in some art-oriented school. And this particular kid is pretty good at playing sinister guys. It's not convincing, it's not hilarious, it's just Mike goofing around with fake beard and his scary baritone. As for the movie I'll put it simple: total garbage. In no way it can be called art or drama. It's clumsy, pretentious and boring. The director thinks he's Jodorowsky or Faulkner but in fact he's an amateur with no taste or professional skills. Watch your Twin Peaks, Santa Sangre or Freaks instead. And I think Mike should sodomize every character in this flick for acting so bad. Don't bother buying it.
