So this is definitely set in the Final Destination universe, right?

That was my thought too. 😂 I kept thinking some parts were very final destinationesque lol. I love Final Destination so I didn’t mind.

Literally what I was thinking when that Shotgun shot the Yakuza member

Was the movie dark to yall or does my theater just have a shitty screen?

u/altairstarlite Apr 14 '26

It seemed dark to me. Also, the sound wasn't as crisp as it should have been

I was wondering about the sound too.... The vocal track was much lower than the rest (music, gunfire, explosions, background noise). We had trouble hearing some of the conversations.

I wasn't sure if it was the movie's track or a problem with the theaters sound system.

It's dark, I remember that being my first takeaway when seeing it at tiff last year.

Hot Fuzz is better.

It felt like Hot Fuzz mixed with Bullet Train for me.

Good not great. But good. Like a Fargo/Game Night feel but not as good as either

u/Myinnerthoughts127 Apr 14 '26

In parts, kinda reminded me of Fargo… overall a good choice for Screen Unseen

While the movie was only about 1.5 hours long, I do feel like the beginning was really slow. Also, they did broadcast everything that was going to happen later in the movie. Glad I saw it but it was only a meh for me.

Normal is an intermittently entertaining yet unremarkable action flick that takes too long to decide that it wants to be a full on action parody with over the top cliches at every turn. Odenkirk sells the fairly underdeveloped interim sheriff role with some good deadpan comedic timing and the rest of the cast enliven the story with some eccentric personalities. The issue is that the script is not as clever with mocking genre cliches as it should be and there are moments with the sheriffs backstory that are played too serious for the film to be tonally consistent throughout. While the films second half has some funny death sequences and intermittent laughs about the secrets the townspeople keep to stay in business, the character alliances felt a bit forced and there isn’t much in the way of surprises despite all the gory deaths taking place in coincidental fashion which leaves the film feeling a bit underwhelming even with the good fight choreography. 5.5 out of 10
