In a passionate relationship, the defects of the beloved are relativized and love wins. That is why Tina, when discovering that Chris has the fuse a little shorter than most humans, begins to believe that there are several types of solutions for everyday problems in society, some more drastic than others. After all, even the most peaceful road trip has a few mishaps, in this case hilarious. Ben Wheatley delivers refined politeness lessons, sprinkled with blood, in a different approach compared to his previous film, Kill List, but which confirms with the same violence that he is a filmmaker with a voice that calls for attention.
