Se busca a un traidor

Director Mark Savage clearly should stick to interviews and not try to make faux feature films. This film started out ok but after I saw Killian's character running around the woods with an air rifle (I think a Crossman pump-up .177 that you can buy at Walmart for about $40), was when he lost me.

He, as with most directors of this day are completely clueless when it comes to reality, like the hitman or cop that has to "jack" a round into their automatic pistol or pump shotgun in order to use it in the heat of the moment. What hitman, criminal, or cop carries an unloaded weapon??? And then, he uses that air rifle, with simulated muzzle flashes and recoil to tap a guy in the chest or shoot an atv to leave a HUGE hole in both.

Savage would be better served by being an armorer in an Alec Baldwin feature.

Just a couple minutes in, and I was already saying to myself, "Wow, this is a bad movie!" And 90 minutes later, nothing gave me reason to think otherwise.

This movie does have fantastic lighting, a well-composed dramatic soundtrack, flawless camera work, and excellent location for the shoot. And still, it is just polish on a turd. At the core, the story itself is just awful. Characters come and go with mere seconds of establishment so the audience cares for no one at all. I can't blame the actors outright but the performances were far from believable. Dialog was choppy and made little sense, even the editing left much to be desired in how the story flowed. Numerous continuity errors were just par for the course at that point. Even the fight scenes were reminiscent of old Jean Claude Van Dame movies with exaggerated, blocky movement that no one actually does. Alas, I watched it to the end to see if the fullness of this dreadful movie and it did not disappoint. I found very little redeeming value in this production. How it was funded and approved I'll never know. Don't waste your time.

Quick Review: You will miss nothing if you skip this turkey.

Supporting Details: I watched Bring Him Back Dead (2022) without expecting all that much as it looked like all the good stuff was edited into the trailer and preview. I figured that if the movie delivered even some of what was promised then it may be average or slightly above. But then the movie started and that assumption went downhill fast. My disdain for the movie genre where the least bad guy is presumed to be hero is growing rapidly. All the more so when said "least bad" bad guy makes increasingly illogical and inconsistent decisions. BHBD does not deliver any honorable outcomes and implies that the whole world is corrupt--and it does neither well. Directors / story writers who have certain scenes in mind that they want to include in the finished product but do not take the time make the plot logic support the placement hurt their movies a lot. In the case of BHBD it is like they did not even try. If you watch this stinker, please post any logical explanations for: 1. Diamonds Handed to Corrupt Cop, 2. How The Rats (plural yes many) were able to communicate outside their circle, 3. Why on earth any criminal would voluntarily let their guns get locked up, 4. How any deals could have been made in advance or during from the story lines we had, and 5. Why the senseless deaths were included. Ultimately this movie scores two stars from me for having some beautiful settings and camera work. I rounded up to three stars as they did tell a story kinda beginning to end consistent with the plot. I tend to rate plots with good guys winning, great character growth, inspiring decision making, and the like much higher than the mess that is BHBD. In the end, I had zero interest in knowing what happened to any of the characters as they had worn out their welcome on my screen.

Not as bad as everyone else is saying. I've seen Louis Mandylor play better parts, but he was with Scott Adkins. There is a lot of stupid in this but that provides the comedy 🤣. This is the heist from hell. It starts off wrong and keeps getting worse. The band of idiots compound mistakes as if that was the plan. This definitely worth the watch. It's a star studded list a B actors. The acting is not bad some of the people you immediately want to see killed, get what's coming, but not the way you would expect it. The ending isn't too predictable, and it's not that long. Like this is, because they make me use 600 characters. Nuff Said Mike Out.

A cliche low budget film with low budget actors. The credibility of this movie went out the window from the start. The only way to ruin a simple script is with B grade actors trying to play tough guys. I thought actors improved with age but Louis Mandylore sure proved that wrong. His shirt goes from sweat lathered to brand new throughout the movie, he plays a tough criminal who can barely bend over to tie his shoelaces. I do not know how this made it past the first viewing. It appeared they wrote the script as they went along. The entire crew wouldn't have $2 between them but still can organise diamond heists. There are actors and there are people who think they are. Unfortunately this movie contains the latter. I recommend this movie to watch around 5am in the morning.
