When I grow up, I'll be... a failure!
I read somewhere that this film can be compared to Quentin Tarantino's work, and why not - I immediately got a copy and started watching.
Everything is designed following the template of proven cult classics. The goal of every scene is to shock, to be brutal and comedic. They drink the blood of enemies, and the Colombian necktie is explicitly shown. But...
After the first minute, it becomes clear that this film is just an annoying copy, printed with a faint toner, based on all those films we love and respect. The action is forced. The dialogues are terrible - someone tried to make them good but failed. All the characters are similar - meant to be dangerous but are actually as desperate as the dialogues. The comedic writing of names next to characters who enter the story, after the fifteenth repetition, becomes boring and feels like someone is mocking you to your face.
I think one star is a harsh rating since the actors did at least try to show up for filming. So: two stars.
