À Mão Armada

To be ambitious with your film in the small budget world of indie filmmaking is one thing, to actually succeed like Spare Parts has is something else entirely. Speaking to the talent of the cast and crew when this film has cool story, solid acting and some damn good fights. Great kills. Surprisingly good effects work. Jullian Richings being evil. What more could you want in a film?

Don't get me wrong, this movie is exactly what you think it is going to be, so there are no surprises. For what it is attempting to be, well... it is. It's a B movie with some good gags (f/x). There isn't anything new nor provocative. The acting isn't terrible and the direction isn't terrible either. The script is what it is. And I'd imagine that the movie did the script justice. If you haven't seen a lot of movies, you may just love this one! Read the movie's description. That's exactly what you'll get.

I was kinda curious to watch this. Wasn't expecting too much as i knew it was a VOD low budget, and it turned out to be pretty much what i expected it to be. There is some entertainement in there, but it could had been lot better.

The concept of limb removal do not really make much sense as no one could be fighting right after that and how come a bunch of hillbillies end up having the medical competence to do this? I guess its one of those thing you need to suspend your disbelief and not care, wich is what i did.

Once around that how's the movie itself? Its alright... Fights could had been better but were not terrible either and some characters decisions/plot points didn't made sense, but i found some entertainement in it. I wasn't bored. But i did roll my eyes a few times at the nonsense so i can't really give it more than the half point mark of a 5.

Only slightly sub-par, but pretty gory. Definitely has a few little holes and story parts that don't quite make sense. I mean, weapon-arms are neat, but why risk infection and weakness by doing it? Unless it were to replace limbs lost in the arena, and then I'd totally understand.

I liked the score, and some of the deaths were B-movie gruesome. The ending did put a smile on my face.

However, what this really needed was to be a couple decades into a post-apocalypse, or in some lawless strife-ridden foreign country. This scale of kidnapping and killing in America didn't quite work for me without there being some much deeper conspiracy.

This wacky rock horror thriller is a bit messy and sometimes lacks rhythm, but still entertaining.
