My recommendation for this one was:
"The whole Internet/social media aspect of Bad Ass gives the old theme a new take... kind of like teaching an old dog new tricks.... or judging a movie by its trailer.... This trailer was entertaining and that's often good enough for me."
The whole Internet/social media aspect was really like parsley on the plate... you notice it, sometimes eat it, but it isn't necessary. This film didn't really attempt to provide anything new to the "average Joe hero who takes on injustice in a big way and actually wins" theme. And while some parts were pretty unrealistic, Bad Ass is kind of fun and entertaining in a low-budget, made for TV kind of way.
That said, Danny Trejo is the real deal bad ass (proof in his bio on IMDB).
This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.
