Bullets, Blood & a Fistful of Ca$h

Are you f%&&ing kidding me?? This movie kicks a$$!!! I saw BBFOC at a screening in Cannes - everybody there was blown away by this film! It's got a 4.2??? Wtf?! Maybe the cut I saw is not the same thing as the cut that got released or something but myself and many others there were SERIOUSLY impressed by this guy Sam Akina. And the guy who plays Cash is a freaking monster! People on this site are talking about hype - WTF?? Have you seen the poster?? There was a joke going around Cannes because BBFOC was advertised in magazines for almost a week, and the poster for it was so GOD AWFUL!! We had to go check it out because we'd been joking for days about it and thought it was going to be one of those movies like "Body Armor" that sucks so bad its funny. Not even close! What it was being "hyped" as and what it was were two totally different things. BBFOC is slick, smart, dark, super-violent and funny as hell! It knows exactly the kind of movie it is - whoever is making the posters and doing the press for it doesn't - and that's too bad. I really haven't had that much fun watching a movie in a LOOONG time. Hats off to these guys for making it, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Akina does in the future when he has some real money to work with.

PS - As far as the Tarantino comparison goes, I also saw Death Proof at Cannes. Sucked!!!! All you Tarantino fans who think he's some kind of incomparable god need to think again - the guy hasn't made a decent movie since Pulp Fiction, and thats a fact! He's been resting on his laurels ever since - if any body else had made Death Proof it would have been called a Tarantino rip-off, it was so bad. Nobody is calling BBFOC a Tarantino rip off - they are making straight comparisons to the filmmakers themselves. (and when Tarantino first started out, people made direct comparisons to Martin Scorsese and that was considered blasphemy as well - now Tarantino is his own institution) This guy Sam Akina is a massive talent - I know because I've seen it - and people who say he is the next Tarantino are totally justified to do so - for what he did with that budget and that story, he deserves a f#%@%$ing genius award!!!

If you like Quentin Tarantino type action movies, IE Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, then you are going to like this movie. Shot with the same kind of gritty camera work that made movies like Three Kings so interesting, this movie doesn't disappoint. The main character is who you want to be. He is THE man. The story is great, complicated, and confusing all at the same time. The characters are wonderfully cheesy, unique, and unforgettable. The fact that they made it with an uber low budget (50k????) is just remarkable. I've watched studio films that were not nearly as entertaining as this. Its like a soap opera, you have to keep watching to see what happens next! If your looking for an evening filled with lots of action, gunshots, gangsters, and plenty of gore, this film is your ticket!

Looks good for the low budget, but a terrible script and very very badly acted. I am sure some of the votes of 10 stars are from friends of the director or something. This looks like a well made student film. I know it was shot on film and some of it is shot very well. I am sure most of the budget was spent on the shoot not on getting a good script or good actors. The director does show promise, I would like to see what he does with a decent script. This is by no means on par with any thing like a Sexy Beast, or Tarantino flick. More like a very bad Steven Segal film or a Brian Bosworth film. A best this film is joke of an action film. If there cast were believable and said believable things it would be bearable.

To be honest, this writer nearly shut down the movie in the first three minutes. There is a lot of hand-held, jerky camera work, and that is a great turnoff.

Fortunately, the movie stayed on. The writing was not bad at all, and the direction was noticeably better than most films with a comparative budget. The character of Cash is one you almost want to hate... Except the actual villains are more despicable.

Basically, this movie is about a bad guy taking out worse guys in order to take his revenge on a purely evil guy. There's a lot of violence and a lot of swearing, but very little nudity.

This receives a six out of ten only because of the production quality, and the feeling that it could have attained even higher heights. Nevertheless, it is a great movie for the vengeance aficionado.

What an amazing surprise and a joy to watch.

This is what happened to me, it started off like a B movie, and I enjoy B movies and watching talent develop, actors, directors, writers, etc., and at first the acting seemed cheesy, but it just kept getting better and better.

It got to the point where I was like "Wow, these guys are really going for an A in film school". AND THEN, then moments of sheer genius started popping up all over the place. The director and cinematographer seemed to really kick it in to high art gear.

By the time it was all over I was soul searching trying to figure out in my mind why this sort of classifies as a B movie in my mind but at the same time a desperate longing for my mind to classify it as a totally A list type of thing.

If Terantino's name were on it, it would have equaled the Grind Houses.

The main character is the most amazing bad a$$ to come along in a long time.

His silhouette coming at you from the perspective of the bad guys is as good an image as there has ever been.

Enjoy it on many many levels.
