I had no idea what to expect from this movie, and all I knew about it was that it was about a man marooned and that Daniel Radcliffe played a dead man who washed up on the beach.
This is definitely one of the weirder movies that I have watched in quite some time. And at times it was so far out there that is stopped being funny and it felt like directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert just took it too far.
The acting in the movie was good, despite it being a very small cast. And both Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe performed quite well with their given roles. And they had to perform quite well in order to carry the movie, as they were alone on the screen most of the entire movie. I must say that especially Paul Dano was shining here, because he went all in for this particular role. I think it was a very bald choice of a movie and a character for Daniel Radcliffe, but it was a very nice change of pace to watch him in a movie as odd as "Swiss Army Man" turned out to be.
There were some pretty hilarious moments throughout the course of the movie between the Hank (played by Paul Dano) and Manny (played by Daniel Radcliffe) characters.
However, I must admit that I didn't really understand the story. It was entertaining, but I don't think I really grasped the full concept of the story that writers Daniel Scheinert and Dan Kwan had at heart here. It was somewhat confusing and seemed to become a scrambled mess of even more confusion towards the end when they finally found civilization.
Despite having some very hilarious moments, then "Swiss Army Man" is hardly a movie that warrants a second viewing.
