Rubber 2: Mike the Trike

About This Movie

So, 'Rubber 2: Mike the Trike' is an odd duck, really. It picks up years after Robert's demise, and it’s got this wild mix of genres that somehow works. The pacing is all over the place in a good way—sometimes it’s like a high-speed chase, other times it slows down to let you take in the sheer absurdity of a tricycle on a revenge mission. The practical effects are delightfully quirky; you can see the craftsmanship in the way they animate Mike. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet there’s this underlying theme of loss and vengeance that kinda sneaks up on you. You get performances that make you chuckle, and then you think, 'Wait, am I actually feeling something?' It’s distinct—like a fever dream you didn’t know you needed.
