Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
a_chinn Okay low budget Chilean action film that wants to be "Machete" or "El Mariachi" but is nowhere as smart, inventive, or funny. The story follows a dopey video game playing DJ who is given 48 hours to find the titular hit-woman after running afoul a local mobster. The Grand Theft Auto inspired missions and titles are fun, but didn't really add much to the film. I thought this film was trying to be a grindhouse exploitation type of homage, but when it throws in these video game elements with various bosses and such, I wasn't sure if this was the filmmakers focus or if it was just trying to be crazy and outrageous, which would be fine, but the film really didn't seem all that crazy or out of control either. However, I will give the the filmmakers credit for keeping the film short, so it doesn't really overstay it's welcome. Overall it's okay, but don't go out of your way for this one.
Finfrosk86 Frightfest Glasgow again! (note: this movie I would never have seen, if it wasn't at a festival)Okay, I know what this movie is trying to do. Problem is it does not succeed all that well.I haven't seen many Spanish movies, and it being in a language I absolutely don't know didn't do it any favors I'm afraid. I have nothing against movies in foreign languages, but if they are, they damn well better be entertaining. Because if they are boring, it gets more boring when you don't know the language. And this is a little boring. They have tried to make it Machete-ish - that kind of over-the-top-style, but it just didn't work for me.It has a couple of cool scenes, some alright action, but not nearly enough or cool enough action. I was kind of relieved when it was over.
Gemma_Philips Same style, same laugh out loud humour, same degree of nudity, but I would say this is more violent.There are real belly ache laugh out loud moments and I found it very entertaining after the initial 20 minutes. Some elements at the start aggravated me at first until I got used to the style and there is plenty of style to be seen.There are some very random "what the hell" which are real eyebrow raisers so be warned. The music is not really my thing but it added to the wackiness of the movie and the sense of fun it seems to convey.THE MOVIE IS ABOUT: a player of computer games who accidentally becomes involved in a live version of Grand Theft Auto complete with missions and ways to make money on the way. The ultimate mission is the title of the movie "Bring Me The Head Of The Machine Gun Woman." Easier said than done. The guy who stumbles in to the game is given 24 hrs to successfully complete this mission. On the way he has to do other missions.This is it in a nutshell. If you like Russ Meyer's Vixen movies you will love this as long as you don't mind subtitles or you have found a version dubbed in your language or you can speak Spanish.I personally decided I like this movie 25 minutes after it started because of the way it makes me laugh so hard.
Casper Jansen The title may frighten some off. Actually I thought it looked a bit silly. But sometimes you have to try something new.I am big fan of Tarantino and Rodriguez's grindhouse films, and I will compare this film with those two. The look is grim and grindhouse and the violence evil and extreme.The running time on 73 minutes is perfect, as all bulls**t and fill is cut.The reason it doesn't get a 10 is that it feels a liiitle slow for a about ten minutes after 45 minutes, but it compensates with a blast of an ending.To be honest I didn't expect much, but it was 73 minutes of lots of fun, bloody violence and sexy action.
