Bill Murray.
I've been trying to watch this one for about a decade. I'd rent it, and something would come up and I couldn't watch it in time. I'd DL it, and that hard drive would crash. But now it's on 'flix and it felt like a Sunday morning movie so Yay! flix.
A video oceanographer at the end of his career goes on a quest for vengeance against the fish that just ate his partner.
This movie is doing a lot, and I'm not sure what the point is. It's stylistic, most things underwater are animated, to an extent. It seems to be an end-of-life story, with the old man meeting an adult son for the first time. And....
There's just a lot going on, here. I need to read someone elses astute impression of it so I can nod and agree.
