Review of Swiss Army Man

6/10
Radcliffe great, the rest of the movie not so much....

The bizarre but semi-boring independent movie "Swiss Army Man" was not as multi-useful as I thought it was gonna be. In this swiss cheesy flick, Paul Dano stars as Hank; who is stranded in a deserted island and about to commit suicide. But before you take out your hankies for Hank, let me inform you (not spoiler alert, its in the trailer) as he is about to commit the suicidal act, he sees a dead man stranded on the shore of the island beach; this man is called Manny. Hank tries to resuscitate Manny, but to no avail. Then Manny starts to have some gaseous combustion that farts him back to life. OK, that is where I said, maybe this "Swiss Army Man" did not switch it up for me. The film was written and directed by a couple of Dans; Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert; and though I credit the Dans for their effort in the originality of the premise, I do have to say that they did not insert enough pizazz to liven up the "Swiss Army Man" for me. I do have to credit the film's score and the stupendous performance from Daniel Radcliffe as Manny. I don't know what kind of "potter" Radcliffe was on (Potter pun intended), but I must state that his performance was revolutionary. However, it was still not enough for me to recommend for you to visit the "Swiss Army Man". *** Average
