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.

Unfortunately, while [its] concept promises a fun, agile thriller, "The Trip" all too quickly descends into a juvenile, nihilistic mess.

This movie is not meant to be politically correct but if there is a line, Wirkola has definitely stepped over it.

“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.
