Overview
- Jorma Taccone’s English‑language remake stars Jason Segel and Samara Weaving as a feuding couple whose murder schemes collide during a cabin intrusion.
- The film builds on Tommy Wirkola’s 2021 Norwegian original The Trip but tweaks character dynamics, including intruders led by Timothy Olyphant with Juliette Lewis as a corrupt guard.
- Taccone frames the movie as “almost three films in one,” using humor to stitch sharp tonal shifts as the story ramps from marital farce into escalating violence.
- Weaving worked with the stunt team to make fights look sloppy on purpose, and Segel leaned into deliberately clumsy acting, turning incompetence into the core joke.
- Festival and pre‑release reviews praise Olyphant’s scene‑stealing turn and the gleefully gory set pieces, while noting uneven tone and a shortened yet still present threatening sexual‑violence beat from the original.
