Review by Guifré Margarit i Contel | 13 April 2025

This low-budget post-apocalyptic film thrives on the enjoyable dynamic between its two leads, reminiscent of Steve Martin and John Candy in Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987). However, its true highlight is how it transforms fart humour from mere comic relief into a source of genuine concern and drama as the story progresses and we grow attached to the characters.

Nonetheless, its brevity and predictable twist undermine the film’s overall tension, leading to a rather standard conclusion. It makes you wonder whether a more episodic structure (where our protagonists face different challenges along the way) might have been more engaging.

Rated 3 out of 5
