Well I don't know how I feel about this one. It's a film that features comedians. It does not however try to be funny. It does, however, have a lot of death by office supplies so I guess that's a little funny. It was trying I think for more a Dr. Strangelove funny than a three stooges funny, but it was just generally strange.
There's a secret bunker full of secret agent killers. These aren't James Bond. For their entry interview they have to kill a puppy. They are divided into two teams: Alpha and Omega. Everyone has the code name of tarot cards. They are led by the Devil, who was more a distracted individual than diabolic.
The movie starts with someone starting his first day on the job. He's been given the code name of "The Fool." He's being given the grand tour by a drunken burnt out case. Then the Devil winds up dead, the bunker gets sealed, and there is a bomb about to go off. Don't you hate first days like that?
This reminds me old IRS films where the weird factor sort of overwhelms everything else in the script (eg. The Blue Iguana). Do yourself a favor, don't look at who stars in it, and just pop it in the ol' dvd player. It makes it more fun when you say.. HEY IT'S SO AND SO! It's about the best part of the film. Since that is the best part of the film I have to say this film is a fail, but an interesting one! More Strangepork than Strangelove.
