What critics compared It's All Gone Pete Tong to
Something went wrong in Kiev, on professional killer Jay’s (Neil Maskell: It's All Gone Pete Tong ) last job, and perhaps he hasn’t quite recovered from it.
Hutz is compulsively watchable as what's essentially a slapstick racial caricature--a Cyrillic version of Paul Kaye's Frankie Wilde from It's All Gone Pete Tong , made up of lithe gestures and frantic, nervy, energy--and Leskin, asked to essentially play the picture of that old guy who could swallow his face, is up to that task.
“What If” could be the breakthrough film that underappreciated Canadian director Michael Dowse (“Goon” and “It’s All Gone Pete Tong” ) has been waiting for, and at any rate it’s a sparkling screwball highball, perfect for a late-summer weekend.
Love is not the only thing the characters tumble into: the bursts of roughhouse slapstick seem appropriate coming from the director of the winning hockey comedy, “Goon,” as well as “FUBAR” and “It’s All Gone Pete Tong.”
