Plot: A dysfunctional couple, Lars (Aksel Hennie) and Lisa (Noomi Rapace), head to a remote cabin under the guise of reconnecting, but each has intentions to kill the other. Before they can carry out their plans, unexpected visitors arrive and they are faced with such a greater danger:)
My Movie Review: The movie is a dark comedy-horror in which an unhappily married couple takes a trip to a remote cabin, with each planning to kill the other- This is definitely not for kids:) The Trip is a slapstick horror as the couple must suddenly team up in their cabin' situation goes awry when they encounter 3 bumbling escaped convicts who were hiding in the attic' with back and forth fighting their unexpected appearance put them on distress and constant head bang! A lot of 3 Stooges-like smacks to the face as everyone has a bloody face in this movie it was a good fight laugh out loud on scenes that really stick to the gut with so much gist they maximize! It was actually a fun movie that flies by the one you enjoy without looking the time but not a perfect movie of course they are scenes you wish that gone different but overall this delivers! Favorite character was the lead convict takes a solid punch without anyone business he was just so calm and matter of fact throughout the whole picture makes the movie enjoyable satire:) Towards the end, Lisa had the opportunity to drown Lars along with Petter, but she made a moral choice and saved her husband maybe this journey is just way to realize lover even more!
Critics Reviews: The Trip thankfully steps back from the sadness of a crumbling relationship and instead presents its chaotic flipside! There's a whimsical, Wes Anderson-like quality to the way Wirkola introduces characters and plot twists, though the tone is more Martin McDonagh with a dash of Quentin Tarantino. This is a gruesomely graphic and pitch-black comedy-horror-thriller loaded with entertaining plot twists great and small. “The Trip” isn’t for the faint of heart. Some scenes are extremely intense and the further it goes the gorier the movie gets. Yet it’s all fused with this wicked sense of humor that often pops up in the most unexpected moments! It inspires a few choking laughs, it's challenging to see, and it's likely to satisfy any iron stomachs who are up to the task. The fights are violent, bloody, all in a pronounced tone of macabre and absurd humor. What then follows is 90 minutes of occasionally hilarious, sometimes gruesome but certainly inventive cinema. Like a cross between My Poor Angel and Funny Games. A wild, zany ride that Wirkola and his cast are 100% committed to. At the risk of sounding cliché: you'll want to take this trip. Bloody good fun, and damned bloody and damned funny in their bargain!!
