Frank Darrbo is a hapless fry cook.

He has problems: his wrench inflicts real injury, so the cops want him for being a vigilante, his sense of boundaries is flawed, and Jacques' gang has guns.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
Severe
This movie has a lot of gore in it including a delusional man dressed as a superhero thinking that god encourages him to be bludgeoning criminals with pipe wrenches, beating them to death and blood and guts etc.. Violence is horribly graphic.
The ending is VERY emotional and tear wrenching.
Molestation, relationships, drug use, everyday criminal settings, vigilantism, good vs evil.
A woman is raped by a man and she screams terrified (onscreen).
The film plays as a VERY dark, disturbing, and satirical violent thriller.
The film contains VERY gory and explicit violence; viewer discretion is advised.
The scene where a man is bludgeoned on the head with a wrench is very brutal (parts of his skull breaks apart as blood pours from the crack).
Plenty of dark humor. Some sensitive people will find it more upsetting than funny. Such as a guy trying to molest a kid, drug dealers, bloody violence and a father spanking his son (All meant to be funny but somewhat dark).
The scene where the Crimson Bolt fights off the people in the ranch is very gory and disturbing, an intensity level of extreme is added.
One or two of the gore scenes may be found disturbing.
Let's talk about movies!
