Has a good reputation among critics and film-buffs, but I thought this was duller than dullsville on a dull tuesday. Fassbender has got to be one of the most overrated actors in recent times. He's got a distinctive look and his eyes pierces through the screen I'll give him that. And a well-sized johnson (as proven on numorous ocassions here) but other than that he's fairly mediocre.

When his younger sister temporarily moves into his apartment, stirring up bitter memories of their shared painful past, Brandon's life, like his fragile mind, gets out of control.

His “Brandon” is a New York office worker who is obsessed about sex and who works in a team of permanently horny men led by his married but odiouly indiscreet boss “Fisher” (James Badge Dale) who also has a lot in common with a…
