Movie review:
- Per Gunnar Jonsson: After being resurrected by Satan, Danny Trejo went on a rampage for revenge. This does sound promising to me. Unfortunately, the movie is a bit bland. It’s not entirely a bad thing, but it’s certainly not as good as I’d hoped.
- This is a rather uneven film. Some parts are very good and some parts are pretty bad. Guerrero frees a gang member but is ultimately betrayed by his own gang. Then it becomes very uneven. Mickey Rourke’s Satan didn’t sit well with me. He mostly looks like an annoying fat scruffy guy. I thought there would be more…satanic stuff.
- But I like Danny Trejo. And then my favorite is Danny Trejo. Some people complained that he only had two expressions, cold and gloomy. Well, to me, that’s how it should be. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Danny Trejo should be doing what he does best, which is playing a cold and dangerous son of a bitch.
- A lot of this movie is a bit illogical, and I don’t mean the supernatural part. The second half felt very shaky, with people behaving rather illogically and even ridiculously. For example, take the scene where the townspeople march to the Sheriff’s Office, with Kavanaugh and Clark present, Clark not only seems unaware of the predicament they’re in, but starts talking about Kavanaugh and his colleagues in front of him bad words. Yes, that’s right, the ratio of survival instinct to stupidity is pretty unfavorable at this point.
- I don’t regret buying the Blu-ray and watching this movie. It was decent enough entertainment, although I expected more. I also don’t understand why it got an R rating. I’ve seen movies that are at least as violent and I don’t understand them.
- Filipe Manuel Neto: **Pure and raw action. ** **
- There is no doubt that Westerners are back. After looking for a few new good movies, I found that although this movie is not good, it is still quite good among action movies. However, this isn’t the best suspense or light horror movie you’ll find, and the story has some issues with logic and coherence.
- The script begins with a bank robbery in a remote town in Colorado. The gang that carried out the robbery were well known and had been on the run from the authorities for some time, having committed many atrocities along the way. However, after the robbery, the gang split and one of the bandits, Guerrero, was eventually killed by his own brother, who became the new Sheriff and took over the city with little opposition. Upon arriving in Hell, Guerrero sees what awaits him and hurriedly negotiates with the devil, offering to give him six souls of his gang members within twenty-four hours in exchange for resurrection.
- Just like in real life, negotiating with the devil is always a desperate gesture and one cannot expect an honest outcome. The devil is the king of deception and is known for trying to deceive those who are willing to deal with him. So, we already know that no one here is honest or loyal, the question is who is the least bad and most deserving of our sympathy. However, this script really deserves to go to hell because it’s so simplistic and the way the characters are conceived is almost elementary. Those dialogues, those, are worthy of an old B-movie. There are also situations and moments where logic is taken out of the equation, such as the devil speaking the name of Jesus or walking freely inside a church, and the entire Christian tradition tells us that the Prince of Darkness cannot tolerate these circumstances or the name of the Son of God. There are also huge anachronisms here and there.
- Despite knowing his success with Machete, I have yet to see anything with Danny Trejo in a major role. The one I’ve seen the most is “Con Air,” where he gives life to a dangerous Latino prisoner. In this movie, he is very suitable for the role he plays, and works well with actor Mickey Rourke, who also has experience in action movies. None of them are great actors, but they serve their purpose perfectly.
- What stands out about this film is the effects and stylized visuals, the use of grand and imposing graphics, very fast and tense shots, some high impact effects and bullets, lots of bullets and shots everywhere . It all looks cheap and lacks quality, as if the production team preferred to have a lot of cheap effects rather than just a few more refined and elegant ones. The fights and shooting are well choreographed and work extremely well, giving the audience what they want: pure and raw action, a simple story and easy-to-understand characters. It’s a niche movie, aimed at a specific audience, so others won’t find it as enjoyable. Critics may point to visual excess or its questionable, cheesy flavor. I’m free to give them some reasons and even agree. However, it works well for its target audience type.
