I can’t remember seeing a film that espoused ideas and beliefs with which I agreed wholeheartedly (social media is evil and we’re all going to die) while simultaneously boring me stupid.

This starts strong but doesn’t always have the room to explore all the ideas it crams in, even with a lengthy running time. Still, Rockwell’s man-on-a-mission is a delight.

The message of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is scathing, so it’s not a surprise that a big studio wasn’t brave enough to finance this.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is not the revolutionary film I was ready for it to be. The muddled final act also prevents it sticking the landing, veering too close to Terminator 2 territory.

There is a huge obsession with school shootings but never explain why there are so many but other than that it was a mind trip and a fun watch.
