Suprisingly really well shot and executed.
I don't get how its not praised more often, it has great comedic timing but also reserves its time to make well composed shots that current comedies seem to lack.(Also watch my newest film My ★★★½ review of who killed him? on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/b9kZWJ )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An escalating game of cat-and-mouse where two hapless brothers engineer increasingly baroque contraptions to catch a single determined rodent. It's pure slapstick spectacle, less about plot and more about how inventively destructive things can get.
