"Off the hook" is a phrase describing a disappointing, mundane, or unpleasant experience or event.
This refers to the scene the movie The Cell, where the hero suspends himself from the ceiling with hooks through his skin. It provides a sense of weightlessness and freedom from the stress of everyday life. Being forced off the hooks drags him back to the brutal realities of women using him to harm themselves.

Wild, Chaotic, Unencumbered. Derived from ancient naval slang. The hook referred to the anchor. In violent storms, if the anchor would break loose from the seabottom (or break loose from the anchor chain - ref "Off the chain.."), the ship would be uncontrolled, free and wild. Utter chaos. Can you imagine anything more wild than a uncontrolled ship in a hurricane?
