This sounds like a great film

1) It’s really wrong. In the best way — at least, if you like movies that go way too far and then just keep going, you’ll like this. It has insane ultra-violence, plus some pretty intense sex and general weirdness. James Gunn, the psychopath who brought us Slither, has managed to mash up religion, ultraviolence, fetishism, and a slew of social anxieties into one horribly disturbing package. There are some moments in this film that’ll stick in your mind for quite some time afterwards.
2) It’s scream-out-loud funny. Especially every time Nathan Fillion comes on screen as the Christian superhero, the Holy Avenger, you’ll fall out of your seat. There will be Holy Avenger T-shirts everywhere in a couple months, if not sooner. But also, Rainn Wilson is pretty freaking on top of his game as a well-meaning nutcase who really believes that whacking people in the head with a lug wrench will make the world a better place.
The movie is “Super”. I can’t wait.

Slither was brilliant. James Gunn seems to have a thing for Fillion though.

Translation for English speakers: A lug wrench is apparently a wheel brace.

I ‘d be impressed if one of these wanker movie makers came up with an anti religion theme that was not targetted at the ever so fucken easy to make fun of Christians and did one on, let’s see, hmmmm,oh yeah ,the Muslims and let’s have Hero Mohammed t shirts.
No I didn’t think so.

I can fully see “Crime, shut up!” and “Three Strikes and you’re out with a wrench” electoral billboards this year, probably from Act.

What kowtow said. These guys are basically wimps who think its particularly tough to beat up on people who don’t fight back.

Sounds like rubbish. I never recommend films to people without knowing their tastes. I have made that mistake in the past and have received a lot of stick in return.

Mind you it stars Rainn Wilson who plays the ego-maniacal Dwight Schrute in the amerian version of the Office. He is excellent in this. Might give it a burl.
