Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Mikeelliott58 Not bad in the sense it was technically well done and the actors were doing their jobs..I may be shallow but the nurse really ruined this.. she looked like a science experiment. She may have been a good actress but with a face frozen with Botox and lips that looked like they were about to burst from filler you would never be able to tell..She was a doll. She could not show a single emotion in a frozen face..For most of the movie her face was so shiny that it gave her an alien look.. I suspect she had had a chemical peel and was trying to hide the red.Not a great movie. Not a horrible one either.. but not good enough to distract you from the plastic woman in nearly every scene..

yeodawg Julia plays the damsel, a private nurse sent in third shift to care for an aging Godfather. Julia is in the room when a hit man Carrado kills the Godfather. He decided to show her mercy and let her live. But that's short-lived as now the hotheaded Godson Paolo and his head henchman Tommaso believes she set the Godfather up and are going to execute her, so now she is in distress. The Hit-man with the heart of gold sweeps in to rescue the Damsel in Distress. Paolo now in charge dispatches his legion of Goons to hunt down and kill the duo. Three things I liked; the cast was dragged up from Celebrity Rehab (sober house) and Sopranos of course. This meant these guys weren't slumming they were lucky to get the gig. There was a lot of add-libbing, at one point Tom Sizemore asks Frank Stallone if he has any coke because there has to be something better than Whiskey just to drink. I don't know if this was a scripted line or not, but Sizemore MEANT IT! There was a Tarratinoesque scene where the Goons are cackling and giggling as they pin a victim to a garbage can. The Hessian hit man over dramatically tries to play too cool silent killer. However his threats can't be heard over the cracking and teasing of the Neanderthal thugs. THE REASON I only watched 30minutes is because the heroine was atrocious. She's had so much cosmetic Surgery her face is transforming into the cat woman face. All that cosmetic surgery and not one cent spent on her breasts unless she had them reduced. I didn't want to see her naked, and what's the use in watching these movies, if you don't want to see the Damsel in distress, naked?

MBunge One of the easiest things to do today is to make a movie that looks and sounds professional. The advances in filmmaking equipment and the wealth of information about the industry now easily available enable almost anyone with enough ambition to achieve production values that would have made Roger Corman green with envy. None of which makes it easier to make a good motion picture. It merely allows even the most talentless boob to make motion pictures that look good.All of which makes me wonder from what primordial soup of suck did the ancestors of writer/director Adamo Paolo Cultraro crawl? What parallel evolution occurred in the stupidest crevices on Earth to produce someone capable of creating a 2009 film that looks and sounds as appalling as Bad Ass? Beyond the atrocious writing, the camera work that gets to be laugh out loud horrible, a cast largely made up of doofuses apparently yanked out of line at the DMV and Tom Sizemore vamping his way through a performance that if he wasn't high during it, he got high afterwards in order to forget it, this thing is a brutal example of technical incompetence. I've honestly seen movies worse than this. I don't think I've ever encountered a flick more poorly made.Corrado (Johnny Messner) is a hit-man/collection agent/douchebag with horrible tattoos who is hired to kill an aging mobster (Ken Kercheval. That's right. Ken Kercheval) and make it look like natural causes. The mobster's nurse (Candace Elaine) interrupts him in the act, Corrado just shoots the guy and then he and the nurse spend the rest of the movie trying to get away from the thugs sent after them by the mobster's tweaky son (Tom Sizemore). There's a cavalcade of cruddy sets, fraudulent locations, horrible line readings, even more horrible improv, awkwardly incapable fight scenes and a hard faced lead actress who looks about 25 years too old for her part. Then the whole thing just flies apart at the end like a defective roller coaster.The wretched storytelling, however, doesn't even come close to equaling the visual and audio stench that assaults you from the astonishingly bad filmmaking. The sound quality here would have been notably deficient in some dirt cheap piece of 1960s exploitation cinema. For a movie to sound this awful in 2009 almost defies explanation. You can hear the sound level and background noise change as shots switch from one character to another, when you can even make out what anyone is saying at all. There's a scene where the camera is focused on one character and starts to pan over to another, then hastily jerks back to the first guy because the cameraman forgot the actor still had another thing to do in the scene. That wasn't some deleted moment scene thrown onto the DVD in the "special features" menu. They left it in the film. There's another scene where a guy is holding a gun to someone's head and the camera is shooting him from such an angle that his outstretched arm completely covers the lower half of his face. And that shot isn't a momentary lapse. It does on like that for like a minute or so with the guy talking and the audience unable to see his mouth move.And Tom Sizemore…oh, Tom Sizemore. He's clearly improving at least 95% of his dialog and gives every impression that he's doing it in some altered mental state. There's at least a half dozen points in Bad Ass where you can see the other actors have no idea where Sizemore is going or how they're supposed to react to him. There's also a moment where is sure seems the director just threw his hands in the air, set the camera on a wide shot and let Sizemore do whatever he wanted, resulting in what looks like an outtake from Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab.I can only hope Adamo Paolo Cultraro was some 41 year old video store clerk who still lived in his parent's basement while fruitlessly fantasizing about being the next Quentin Tarantino and his mom and dad cashed in their retirement savings so he could make this film and it would serve as sort of an intervention. There's no way anyone with a functioning brain stem could makes something like this, see it on the screen and still think they had a chance in hell of ever making movies for a living. For his sake, that crushing realization should have sent Adamo Paolo Cultraro fleeing from Hollywood and into some career he might prosper in, like cleaning the drains at public pools or sterilizing the equipment at liposuction clinics.

Amin Jacoub I am a person who are oriented on movies, not soap operas or trash TV series and as well cheap action flicks from drive in cinemas. Actually I would offend the Art of Grindhouse, but I did not mean that kind of Movies, cheap and stupid ones.I love gangster movies, and as a big fan of everything in that segment, I was very pleased when I saw that cast on this how would I call it, cinematic shame, have few of the actors from Sopranos, as well is Tom Sizemore and Tony Curran.But, what ends with, is only few sequences I watched, either laughing or crying of such an amateurish and bad garbage work here.I did not have stomach nor conscious to watch it more than few minutes, it is that bad.The acting from pro actors are terrible, and you end with asking yourself how it is possible that they act so bad. All of them. What is the point here? To make trash movie? Or? There are so many flaws I believe, but I watched it only few minutes, fast forwarding it in general (it was so unwatchable), so I believe there are many but did not catch them all. The moment I stop watching it and pushing FF button was on the scene when famous Vito from Sopranos enter the table in coffee shop (the very start of the movie). So if you want, watch it, and you will have your jaw wide open of such bad scene impression.I did watched such a bad movies few times in my life, but I really did not expect some of the pros would act is such a garbage like this one. Still, don't want to offend some audience here who likes that kind of movies, we are all mostly subjective, but as a lover of quality cinema, I think those one will agree with me. Hell, I am not on that non stop shooting and nothing but no words, big muscles and destroy all around me fan, like Universal Soldier. Maybe some will find this one great. I don't know.Below 0.
