Ways of Fishing

About This Movie

So, 'Ways of Fishing' (2022) is this strange little comedy that throws you into a surreal world on a boat in the Caribbean. Dafoe and Walken are a duo that just works, you know? The way Dafoe opens that briefcase, and suddenly there’s this golden glow—it’s like the film is playing with some kind of metaphysical vibe. Then, Walken’s character, in a bizarre burst of ambition, goes on to stab Dafoe with a swordfish. The absurdity ramps up, and it’s darkly comedic. The pacing feels off-kilter, which somehow adds to its charm. The practical effects, especially with the swordfish, tip-toe into grotesque territory, and there's a certain rawness to their performances that holds it all together.
