Bring Him Back Dead

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.

There is low budget, and then there is ultra low budget. In ultra low budget you can avoid awkward wardrobe/continuity issues by stopping at the nearest TARGET on the way to filming and get everyone brand new duds. At the 20 minute mark we go to a really boring flashback. The reason flashbacks exist is to break up the exciting action scenes so the audience can catch its breath. Not to connect one boring segment to another. I could go on, but you get the point.

Avoid! There's nothing new here, just old faces you recognize but can't think of their name because you never knew it. B action stars with slower action than ever, worse accents than ever (Luis!!! Why???), and more nonsensical story than ever. The impression I got was that the script came from a night of these guys of grasping for random story ideas to get some work and make some money over (cheap) beer, and one of them said he knows a guy that can spit out a script for them in a couple weeks. And they did, and it's ridiculable. Hopefully this is their last one.

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.
