Shoot the Hero

This is possibly one of the worst movies ever made. This movie is so bad both the director and the screenwriter should consider hanging themselves. I have no idea how anything that reaches the masses could be so utterly disappointing and uninteresting. This movie lacked both an adventurous plot as well as a humorous tone. It is unconceivable to think that a major production team could have patched this movie up as it lacked practically every aspect of a semi-decent movie.

This movie was so bad that I deliberately turned on my laptop, registered here on IMDb, and posted this comment.

Unbelievable that people got paid in the production of this movie.

Watching this movie made me appreciate all of the movies that I have ever taken for granted.

Cool, two people I already have met in the flesh and are cult together in an action flick, I'm talking about Danny Trejo and Fred Williamson. This must be 100% exploitation I thought. How foolish I could be to see this. This is boring as hell and the story doesn't work at all. maybe the first 10 minutes are worth seeing but from that point on it's downhill. And it goes deep underground.

It is supposed to be funny, never laughed. It is supposed to tell 3 different stories that combine into 1, huh? They do come across each other but what the hell, maybe the best part is the 46 minute when you see 2 girls from behind seducing Danny Trejo.

I just can't understand that Trejo and Williamson agreed to make such a pile of sh*t.

Well, the movie had potential, I will give it that much.

However, and I put emphasis on however, the movie failed to deliver.

The nice part of the movie was that you saw different sides of the story as the came together, although a bit too far out there at times, but still it was what worked best for the movie.

Another nice thing about the movie was the music and score, very nice choice of music that went quite well with the movie.

As for the cast and their acting. Well don't expect award winning performances here, because you will be sorely disappointed. Now, some parts of the movie actually came off quite alright, but other parts were bordering on being annoying to watch or just downright irritating.

The storyline is fairly easy to follow, though it is suffering from some flaws and some parts that were just too hard to digest or fully believe in.

"Shoot the Hero" failed to captivate me, and I was left bored about three-quarters into the movie. I almost gave up on it, but stuck through with it, just for the sake of finishing it. This is not the type of movie that I will be returning to again for a second time. Once was more than enough.

In overall, the movie was well-intended but it failed to shine and failed to come through in a plausible manner. There are far better and far more interesting movies on the market, play it safe and put your money on something else.

New to IMDb, this film caught my attention, surprisingly. My wife and I happened to see this in a Boston film festival back in April. Cool cast, we love "that Mexican guy", who I know now as Machete. I had to say we really had a fun time with it. We stayed for the q&a with the film's leading lady, who was very nice and pretty and the director. Big surprise was the films' budget, which was nothing, and the other cool ways on how it got made. Nonetheless, people will mistake SHOOT THE HERO as an action film like the Losers or something, but we know it as an independent film that was funny too. Good time...oh and Jay and Silent Bob actor, Jason, was really great.

Shoot the director and the writer was a more proper title, don't wait too many things from this film ,the actors are good but the acting is bad because of the influential silly plot i suppose , its a low budget film it is obvious but with good intentions a full studio and backyard filming taking place nothing special , the only thing i liked was the actors all the casting was excellent it was the proper people for the job but with a better plot or filming i think they could have done better results than this one .Generally it is an entertaining but kinda boring film , watch it only if you don't have better things to do , or watch it for the talented actors that playing on this film without support at all and trust me the result is amazing if you understand they got no support at all.Also it is amazing how those actors made this unwatchable plot watchable with their presence not with their acting. Mediocre to awful gangster movie 4/10
