GORILLA

About This Movie

So, 'Gorilla' from 2021 is one of those quirky action-comedy hybrids that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The premise is simple—there’s a gorilla on the loose, and Scott Wilson and his buddy Jonesy are the unlikely heroes tasked with capturing it. The tone leans heavily into the absurd, with a kind of slapstick humor intertwined with action sequences that feel a bit rough around the edges. The practical effects for the gorilla are surprisingly solid, giving it a tangible presence that you don’t see much these days. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but there’s a certain charm to its offbeat style. It’s distinctive for its light-hearted take on a zoo break and the buddy-cop dynamic feels refreshingly silly here.
