Review of The Trip

The Trip (2021)
7/10
Slow then quite violent trip
19 January 2022
The movie begins quite slow. For anyone who has seen the trailer - I kind of can imagine they might have issues with the pacing. You do expect this to be a bit over the top ... which it is, but much later on. And when it finally pulls out all the stops, it is quite the experience. Having said that, all the rewinding the movie does ... well it works the first time like a charm (even for most who have seen the trailer) ... but the second time it feels more like a cheat.

Now you can not be easily offended or faint of heart ... or having issues with blood and depictions of violence. Or quite the nasty humor if one likes to call it that. Nasty in an action kind of way. In a cut of something of someone else kind of way to be more exact. If you dig that ... go ahead and by all means cherish this ... especially the second half ... maybe rewrite the story yourself too ... no pun intended.

Up til then, you have to endure a bit of "build up" that could have been told a lot quicker and a lot shorter run time wise ... my 5 cents.
