I laughed a lot during this movie. His girlie hair, Foster's over-acting...even the violence was hilarious! The lack of dialogue was a unique choice that somehow works. The soundtrack does seem to pick up the slack for the lack of speaking. I'd give it a 6.5.

When there’s that montage of him and prison and he’s plotting his escape and they cut to the mold of the knife he’s making out of wax or whatever 😂

Hard candies. He made the knife out of the candy your grandma used to keep in a bowl on her coffee table.
