In normal The Film, Bob Odenkirk plays—let me check my notes here.

Let's see.

I've got it right here.

Sheriff Ulysses, who's recently accepted a gig as temporary sheriff in a small Minnesota town to get away from a troubled marriage and some mysterious unpleasantness in his past—

That doesn't remain mysterious for long because flashbacks.

Turns out the town is friendly enough.

The mayor is played by Henry Winkler, the local barkeep by a blink and you'll miss her, Lena Headey.

But it's hiding a dark secret, a secret that quickly turns super hyper mega violent.

Normal was written by Derek Kolstad, the creator of the John Wick franchise, who also wrote Nobody.

It was directed by Ben Wheatley, the auteur behind Meg to the Trench, but also some really terrific British horror films like Kill List and A Field in England.

Normal is in theaters now.

Chris, our action guy, what'd you make of this little film?

Where did you come down?

Okay.

Well, maybe I'm going to surprise you guys here because I don't think this is a bad movie because I think this thing is barely a movie.

This is a gesture toward a movie.

It's the concept of a movie strung together with masking tape and bailing wire.

Everything about this feels like it was hastily patched together in post.

There is so much ADR in this movie.

There are Madam Web amounts of ADR.
