Bad Asses on the Bayou

This isn't a typical action movie, it's much more of a comedy movie, so if you're looking for action - go elsewhere. The one liners that get tossed about are funny and yes the acting could use a bit more...but overall enjoyed the movie and definitely did a lot of laughing through it. Glover and Trego never fail to hit the punch line in this movie. I pulled it up on netflix for a 'look-see' if it would be any good or not, and once the show started, it had us watching and laughing throughout. I imagine some of the bad reviews are from people that wanted a serious action film and this one is no where close, it's actually a bit fake in one scene when there's a lot of shooting going on, but again it fits the comedy part of the show.

This is the third Bad Ass film and the second that co-stars Danny Glover along with Danny Trejo, who is the star of all three movies. It's a rather slow-motion action film, with two over the hill tough guys taking on a gang in Louisiana. It's all very silly and far from a must-see film, but if you set your expectations low and just want some mindless entertainment, it's not bad.

This film begins well. Two grumpy old friends, Frank and Bernie (Trejo and Glover) are in a bank trying to work out a loan. However, it's interrupted by an attack by some armed robbers--and the two old geezers manage to take them out with style. Soon, the two become an internet sensation and are minor local heroes in L.A..

They soon are invited on an all-expense paid trip to Baton Rouge to go to a wedding. Once there, however, an armed group of intruders kidnap the bride-to-be and it's up to Frank and Bernie to kick butt and demand answers since it appears that the local cops couldn't care less about the abduction.

What follows is a rather predictable and ridiculous adventure. The dialog is occasionally pretty silly and there isn't a lot to love about this one unless you are fans of Trejo and are also willing to cut the film slack when it comes to the fighting. After all, it's hard to believe either of these geriatric heroes taking on big, tough gang members (especially Glover)...yet again and again, they SLOWLY take out everyone who comes near them. You'll just need to suspend disbelief about all this. Not a terrible film by any standard but certainly not one to rush to rent now that it's debuted on Netflix.

Well depending on how you liked the first two movies, you can expect to feel the same here. It's not that the movie redefines anything, though there is a change of "scenery". That's nice to see, but how often can you fake and fool criminals in one movie? Even at that age and especially if you consider the "bad guys" to be deadly (or at least they attempt to look like it).

Still Danny Trejo and Danny Glover, the latter who is not too old for flying on a plane and ... well you'll see where I'm heading with this and what might have been written in there to draw him to sign on this movie. It worked and who wouldn't want that to happen on their flight/ride? Exactly. Back to the movie and the action, which is decent, especially if you consider who is playing the characters. There are nice touches (such as the not running thing, which they would be too old for and was one of the worst bits in Taken 3), but overall this is standard procedure.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. The title alone should tell you what to expect: a silly, entertaining flick with plenty of action that also brings belly laugh after belly laugh.

Danny Trejo and Danny Glover are chemistry on screen. John Amos and Loni Love square out a very good cast, with Ms. Love nearly stealing the show.

If you liked the first two installments of the Badass franchise, you will absolutely love this one. If this is your first encounter with Frank And Bernie and you're expecting something taut and serious, then... well... look at the title again.

This is Craig Moss really settling into the franchise and kicking it into high gear. Though billed here at IMDb as an action/crime flick, the franchise is built on a comedic foundation and Bayou delivers. I hope a Badass 4 is in the works, because like the Expendables and Fast and Furious franchises, this must go on.

Bayou is appropriately paced, well directed, well acted and side- splittingly funny. Enjoy!

I was not aware there were three of these movies so I watched this one first. I laughed at how insane and unbelievable the action and acting was. Then I went and watched Bad Ass. Now I really hate this second sequel.

Danny Glover is way past his action days as Roger Murtaugh. The fight scenes are painful to watch as neither Danny Trejo or Glover are in any physical condition to pull off these stunts. The bank fight scene is a prime example. They are so slow in their movements, I could have taken a pee break in the time it took Glover to throw a punch. The plot is silly and I knew the twist almost immediately because it was so poorly disguised.

Having now seen Bad Ass and how great it was and how perfect Trejo was for the character, it disappoints me so much that they tried to turn this into some kind of Lethal Weapon for geriatrics. Maybe they should have called it Geritol Weapon. I can't believe the same director did all three.

Skip the sequels and just watch Bad Ass. Its so much superior to this movie. They really screwed the pooch on this one.
