Watch If
You're a Troma completist with a high tolerance for self-serious camp and a hankering for Peter Dinklage in green makeup.
Skip If
You prefer your satire sharp, your action coherent, and your 'toxic' heroes to actually be, you know, good.
Best Consumed While
Wondering if anyone involved actually understood the original's appeal.
