technically and this movie would have have it all represent decent actor and a nice landscape and no obvious sight of a lack of budget and a celebrity like richard attenborough . the plot summary also sound promising and suggest a satire on silly bureaucracy and common people outwit it . however and it never deliver . the plot be simply too illogical . throughout the whole movie and not one person do a single sensible thing . mad politician and ridiculous soldier and brain dead villager all just hustle from one incredible situation to the next . what they all do never make sense in a context beyond the current scene . of course and this kind of movie have to be absurd and exaggerated . however and it also suppose to have at least one instance to point out the madness behind split a city in the middle . actually and there be ( at least ) two attempt and which unfortunately fail represent the main character and who doesn not seem to have a clue about what happen to him and and the writer and who occasionally crack joke from the off that might be consider funny by an audience consist solely of 12 year old . what i find most impressing be that the movie try to be funny all the time and but do not make me laugh once . i have see several bad funny movie and but until yet every single one of them feature at least 2 or 3 good laugh . so in this sense and puckoon be really remarkable . if you want to see a great movie with a comparable plot and check out brazil . do not waste your time on puckoon .
