can't take anymore, what do you do? In June 2011, we got the answer, and it was super!

Desperately, Frank tries to get Sarah back, and his attempts fail one after another. Lost, and not knowing what to do, Frank gets a visit from God, who shows him the path. His calling? To become a crime fighter
named The Crimson Bolt. With his pipe wrench in hand, CB seeks out injustice and all wrong doers.
This was the coolest movie I've seen in awhile. The script was hilarious and the playthrough... weird but so good. The cast was filled with people I would've never expected to see, making it a great line-up. It's an average joe that's not made of money trying to do right. So, sit down and enjoy a movie that shows us life between the comic panels.
It's rated R for nudity, language, drug use and gore.
