Tired of making the same conventional corporate films, a Hollywood actor moves to Argentina to find more meaningful work. There he becomes a participant in an experimental thesis on social philosophy.
John Cusack (Tony), Paul Hipp (Rudy), Kevin Morris (Syd), Alejandro Agresti (Pesto), Al Pacino (Nick).
We're No Animals begins with a bit of character introduction before rolling credits and moving on to the storyline. Sadly, there really is not much of a storyline, just a strange attempt at showing how a film is made. Instead the film feels like a random intellectual journey with minor attempts at relating the randomness. Unfortunately, the attempts failed and the film feels much more psychotic than intellectual.
Acting felt almost as random as the storyline. Awkward and lacking direction.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were all, you guessed it, pretty much random. Dialogue was at times interesting, infrequently entertaining, and of course random. Sound and soundtrack were decent.
Overall, if you enjoy watching films billed as social documentary that are in fact completely random thereby supporting your own desired social commentary, this one is for you.
