3, 2, 1… Frankie Go Boom is a comedy about two brothers, one of whom has tortured the other pretty much his entire life. Now that the older brother is off drugs you’d think it would be different. Nope.
Frankie has always gone through some horrible shit because of his brother. Humiliated over and over again, generally on film. Bruce (the older brother) was on drugs for a while, but now he’s clean and Frankie is giving him a second chance to be a good brother.
I don’t know too much about the plot outside of that, but Ron Perlman plays a transgender, and I think he shows his boobs to Frankie.
So there’s that.
3, 2, 1… Frankie Go Boom
Jordan Roberts is the writer/director of 3, 2, 1… Frankie Go Boom, and he’s been around a bit, though this is a big film for him. He wrote March of the Penguins, and wrote and directed a film called Around the Bend, which I’d never heard of though it starred Michael Caine and Christopher Walken.

What’s Good About It?
3, 2, 1… Frankie Go Boom sounds kinda funny, and more importantly it brings Clay and Jacks back together. I should explain for those of you who suck. Clay and Jacks are the roles of Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy. They play members of a motorcycle gang and Perlman is Hunnam’s uncle. They don’t get along for much of the show. It’s based on Hamlet and it’s freaking awesome.
What’s Bad About It?
Do you think all Canadians secretly wish they were transgenders? I don’t. That would be an insult to transgenders.
Our Clever Prediction
I don’t think 3, 2, 1… Frankie Go Boom will make much money, but it might show a bit of the range of Hunnam, who isn’t as well known as he should be, though he’s freaking amazing. He doesn’t look as badass without facial hair though. And he needs his patch.
