Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Seth_Rogue_One First off, I have to point out that even though Danny Trejo's character is based on a real person (on the internet known as the Epic Beard Man) most of the movie is entirely made up, so if you're looking for a true story type of movie then look elsewhere.But then again, most movies based on true stories tend to not be all that true once you start reading up on them but anyway, Trejo's background as a Vietnam-vet is accurate, the fight on the bus (ethnicity changes aside) are fairly accurate and the t-shirt "I am a MF" is accurate to what Epic Beard Man wore that day which made him famous.But that's pretty much where it stops, and the fight on the bus is not even the essential part of the movie either it's over with within the first 13 minutes or so, so the rest of the 80 minutes are all made up as a what could be if 'Epic Beard Man' decided to become a full-time vigilante if you will.But the good thing is that it's entertaining, one of Danny Trejos better movies where he's in the lead (which he rarely is, most of his resume consists of smaller roles even the ones he's on the poster of).So yeah if you'd like to see an old guy kicking some butt then this is a perfectly good choice.

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.

Theo Robertson really enjoy the vigilante thrillers but they are rather self limiting . A man finds himself wronged by the apathy of society and in a violent inciting incident decides to strike back at the bad guys . We've all been there and there's something cathartic about a fictional character torture , maim , mutilate and execute bad guys but at the end of the day it's difficult to do something new with the genre which ends up have a same-ish feel to it . There's very little original about BAD ASS . It features a Vietnam veteran as the hero and right away you're reminded of John Eastland played by Robert Ginty in THE EXTERMINATOR and one can't help thinking that the myth of the alienated violent loner Viet vet is mainly down to Hollywood That said if you're getting your information from Hollywood movies then you're a very sad person and it's amazing that some people are under the impression that this is based upon true events . From the outset BAD ASS probably plays upon this ignorance . We're asked to believe that protagonist Frank Vega spent seven years fighting in Vietnam including one year as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese ! So ask yourself how he escaped ? The truth is that some bloke got in to an altercation on a bus and the incident became a viral sensation on the web and that's the closest the film becomes to being based on true events . A lot of people seem to have taken the film both as too literally and too seriously but this isn't the mindset the film should be watched in and certainly isn't the spirit the film was made in so sit back and watch a fictional character kill some other fictional characters

assface123454321 It's pretty sad that Hollywood and the government (which pretty much owns Hollywood) would take an incident like this and reverse all the races just to make whites look bad, because that's the politically correct thing to do. It makes me sick, and I'm getting really sick of this demonization of whites. What is even sadder is how they basically defecate all over Vietnam Tom by twisting the fact to fit their political agenda of creating hatred for whites. Where is the outrage? Besides all of that, I thought the movie was poorly acted, and was never meant to be a real movie, and rather just an excuse to demonize white people. It's extremely racist... but I guess since I'm white, I have no right to complain in the eyes of all the racist blacks (because there are FAR more racist blacks out there than racist whites), and this movie is just a slap in the face to all whites and to Tom. It's sickening that they would do this disgusting low down politically motivated Hollywood white-hating tactic just to placate all the racist blacks, and it's even sadder that there are so many spineless whites out there that won't call this movie out for what it is: an anti-white propaganda film sponsored by government owned Hollywood for political purposes (getting the nation to think of all whites as racists, when the opposite is true. Is this a long enough review for you, IMDb?
