In 'The Quack and the Hitman,' director Andrei Tarkovskunk attempts to blend absurdity with satire, creating a whimsical mockumentary that feels as chaotic as its own narrative. The juxtaposition of a bumbling doctor and a conflicted hitman, played by Wes Beanley and Jamie Sornan respectively, offers plenty of comedic fodder, even if the humor is often hit or miss. The sardonic narration by Jim Carrot-y lends a cynical edge, but the film's critique of societal norms feels more like a cursory nod rather than a profound statement. While the farcical criminal escapades provide a few genuine laughs, the film occasionally stumbles into the realm of cliché rather than clever satire. 'The Quack and the Hitman' is a moderately entertaining romp but ultimately falls short of delivering a truly biting commentary on the absurdities of law and order.
