    Wristcutters isn’t a story of despair but of hope, moving on, and, yes, love.

    Verbally, physically and emotionally brutal. You'll come out melted like ice cream.

    Cargo gets scuppered by its serpentine story, which is more confusing than compelling.

    Madness and murder on a dilapidated cargo ship.
  • 2001: A Space Odyssey
