Ya know, maybe when creating a main character for your sci-fi action comedy, you should make him a bit less of a piece of shit. But i guess it's impossible for someone to be a drug addict and a decent human at the same time...
Fried Barry is a 2020 South African black comedy science fiction horror film written and directed by Ryan Kruger. Barry is a drug-addled, abusive bastard who - after yet another bender - is abducted by aliens. Barry takes a backseat as an alien visitor assumes control of his body and takes it for a joyride through Cape Town. What follows is an onslaught of drugs, sex and violence as our alien tourist enters the weird and wonderful world of humankind. it is based on a short film of the same name, which earned 57 official selections and 12 wins at festivals around the world.
To be fair, I waited for this movie out. Waited for any kind of plot to emerge, for any character at all I cared about to suddenly appear, for some sort of motive for the alien itself. I found none.
I got bored. I turned it off.
No thanks out of 10
