TL;DR – It is an amusing and chaotic film that does hold back a bit when it should embrace its premise.

Post-Credit Scene – There is a post-credit scene.

Disclosure – I was sent a screener of this film.

Daniel’s Gotta Die Review –

Today, we are looking at a fundamentally odd film out of Canada. One that leans into chaos at almost every turn but never truly embraces it. Full of character actors playing right into their caricatures but finding them quite two-dimensional. It’s quite engaging, but it always holds you at arm’s length.   

So, to set the scene, one evening, Daniel Powell (Joel David Moore) woke up feeling something was off like someone was in his room. He wonders who is out there, but just when he resigns himself to it being nothing, he is attacked from behind. The Powell family is incredibly dysfunctional, more dysfunctional than anyone should be. Not that Daniel really knows his siblings because they were gone to boarding school most of the time. But they were all untied after the patriarch Edward Powell (Iggy Pop) died suddenly. All the kids need to get along for a weekend to get their inheritance, but we know that does not go well.
