Plot

Two brothers (Charlie Hunnam and Chris O'Dowd) seek the help of a transgender hacker (Ron Perlman) in erasing all evidence of a sex tape from the internet before the unhinged movie star father (Chris Noth) of the girl involved (Lizzy Caplan) seeks violent revenge. Cast member Lizzy Caplan described the plot: "It's about a guy whose life has been ruined by a YouTube video that has gone viral and so he's been hiding out and he gets brought back into civilization (because he's been living in the middle of nowhere) by his really manipulative, horrible brother. And everybody in his life is sort of terrible [and it's about] how he deals with that."[2]

Cast

Development

Filming began on the week of November 10, 2010.[3]

Ron Perlman was offered two different roles in the film, but accepted the role of a transsexual character. He is quoted as saying "They offered me two different roles and I went for the transsexual because I felt like when the door opens and you see that it's me, it should get a 'Yuck!'"[4]

As of June 2020, the film holds a 45% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 22 reviews with an average rating of 5.26/10.[5]

gollark: I haven't heard anything about a war though.
gollark: Climate change is more of a long term issue than a *disaster* right now.
gollark: Please, only two of those are naturalish disasters.
gollark: You will IMMEDIATELY DIE because of THIS SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC WORLD EVENT!
gollark: Idea: train an "AI" or something to *automatically* detect storm parameters using the radio signals.
