SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Steineded How sad is this?

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

LouAbbott ..So says a police officer that is on Frank Vega's (Danny Trejo) side. The film is a by the book revenger. There are probably a thousand and one films like "Bad Ass." But Danny's the star, and that makes all the difference. Also, he's a nice guy in this one and doesn't start beating people up until the bad guys force him to beat them up. Lots of action, some blood, and a whole lot of butt kicking. If you're a fan of revenge films, it is recommended.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen I needed a film to kill some time, what better way to spend it with some action and Danny Trejo :) This film is however more than a action packed one, this is usually not entirely how we see Trejo, in this film he is a big hearted guy, that just want to help the community and do the job that the police can't seem to figure out.The film is good, nothing special, but the story is alright, the acting it above average and we do get to see Trejo kick some but once in a while. This is perfect for a relaxing time on the sofa or for just passing time.I don't know what more to say, watch it and see for yourself, you might like it or maybe not.

igotmunsoned627 This movie started out with all the potential in the world. Based on "actual" events, that they deemed they had to change the race of the individuals involved. Anyway I got over that, as I'm use to Hollywood "facts" and this movie seemed to be heading in the right direction. That all changed when the British sounding guy broke into Vega's house, tried to use typical cheesy Hollywood comedy in the middle of a drama, had the upper hand in the fight, but somehow Frank got the upper hand. I'm not saying that isn't possible, what I'm saying is impossible is somehow Frank picked this fatty up and threw him through the window... yeah right. Up until that point this movie was a solid 8, that knocked it down to a 7, still salvageable Hollywood, I know you won't mess this movie up like you have so many in the past (eye roll). Oh wait the bus chase, you already did that with Speed and it sucked (5 now, 2 point deduction for reusing an idea especially since it sucked while at the same time using your crappy cheesy comedy again). Then the ending was completely jacked, I don't know how to end a movie after so many shitty cheesy scenes, but obviously neither do you. This movie is a 4, watch it only if it's free and you don't have anything better to do, like tilling a garden or something.

megoobee With the title of "Bad Ass", you know this is not going to be a masterpiece. The story is a parody of sorts of action films (ie: Chuck Norris, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Van Damme, etc. vs. the bad guys alone) but this time the protagonist is a frumpy old man.There are movies that are so bad they become entertaining; this is one of them. The dialog is bad, the fight scenes are bad, the special effects are bad, there is nothing noteworthy or redeeming at all. I might as well kick 'em while they're down and note that the entire vehicle chase scene is cut and pasted from a 1988 Schwarzenegger film.If you turn off your left brain (the supposedly analytical side) while watching this, you'll find some chuckles here and there. A frumpy old hero? While not believable that an older person can take out all the baddies hand-to-hand, it is not inconceivable that he can win some of the fights.If you are looking for mindless entertainment and don't mind extreme profanity and violence, you may enjoy this movie. For the same reasons, I recommend keeping kids away it.
