"Taccone channels his inner John Woo for comedy and violence to dance in harmony in a gorgeously gruesome home-invasion thriller. It was a transformative change of pace for a director who made his feature debut with the side-splitting MacGruber."
"I'm a big fan of The Bourne Identity, John Wick, Nobody, stuff that has a real dirty quality. Die Hard will always be the north star for everyman violence. A man who actually bleeds and drags his ass over the finish line, when the arc of characters is seen on their bodies."
"Over Your Dead Body is a remake of the 2021 Norwegian movie The Trip, starring Jason Segel as Dan, a mediocre film director who plans to kill his wife, Lisa, during their weekend getaway."
