Bad Asses on the Bayou

"We need your help. This is a small town, we don't get to many of these types of crime around here." "This isn't LA, this is Baton Rouge." Frank Vega (Trejo) and Bernie Pope (Glover) have been invited to the wedding of the daughter of an old friend. What starts off has a happy occasion changes when she is kidnapped. When the cops aren't doing enough Frank and Bernie take matters into their own hands and as usual, will stop at nothing to fix things. This is a series that I can't believe is still going. I'm not saying they are bad movies, just more unnecessary. Trejo has a huge cult following and Glover seems to have fallen a long way since Lethal Weapon, but they both fit will together. As far as the movie goes, it's basically the same thing as the other two. Two old guys fighting for what is right and a decent blend of humor and action. Overall, if you liked the first two you will like this one. Generic but somewhat entertaining. I give it a B-.

I thank Craig for demonstrating what precisely is bad actors' direction. Most bad movies are combining bad actors, bad directors and a low budget. In this one, most of these actors have been good actors at least a couple of times. The budget is probably not bad with most scenes outdoor and a plane crash. So, to explain these awkward silences between dialogs and this feeling of kids playing the actors, I only see one cause: bad direction. After this painful experience of 85 minutes, I conclude that badly directed actors are definitely looking like bad actors. So I'd like to express my sincere apologies to all actors I've disparaged in the past: maybe they were good actors under bad direction.

With the previous two "Bad Ass" movies watched, then of course this one had to be watched as well.

The story in "Bad Asses on the Bayou" was adequately entertaining, but it just felt that they should have stopped making these movies after the first one, because parts two and three don't have the same level of energy as the first movie.

"Bad Asses on the Bayou" was troubled by an overly predictable storyline.

Danny Glover is definitely getting too old for these kind of movies. Danny Trejo carried the movie quite well, and he did make the movie bearable to watch.

If you enjoy action movies, then "Bad Asses on the Bayou" is hardly the first of choices to go to. It was an adequate movie for what it turned out to a; a mediocre action movie.

This is the third Bad Ass film and the second that co-stars Danny Glover along with Danny Trejo, who is the star of all three movies. It's a rather slow-motion action film, with two over the hill tough guys taking on a gang in Louisiana. It's all very silly and far from a must-see film, but if you set your expectations low and just want some mindless entertainment, it's not bad.

This film begins well. Two grumpy old friends, Frank and Bernie (Trejo and Glover) are in a bank trying to work out a loan. However, it's interrupted by an attack by some armed robbers--and the two old geezers manage to take them out with style. Soon, the two become an internet sensation and are minor local heroes in L.A..

They soon are invited on an all-expense paid trip to Baton Rouge to go to a wedding. Once there, however, an armed group of intruders kidnap the bride-to-be and it's up to Frank and Bernie to kick butt and demand answers since it appears that the local cops couldn't care less about the abduction.

What follows is a rather predictable and ridiculous adventure. The dialog is occasionally pretty silly and there isn't a lot to love about this one unless you are fans of Trejo and are also willing to cut the film slack when it comes to the fighting. After all, it's hard to believe either of these geriatric heroes taking on big, tough gang members (especially Glover)...yet again and again, they SLOWLY take out everyone who comes near them. You'll just need to suspend disbelief about all this. Not a terrible film by any standard but certainly not one to rush to rent now that it's debuted on Netflix.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. The title alone should tell you what to expect: a silly, entertaining flick with plenty of action that also brings belly laugh after belly laugh.

Danny Trejo and Danny Glover are chemistry on screen. John Amos and Loni Love square out a very good cast, with Ms. Love nearly stealing the show.

If you liked the first two installments of the Badass franchise, you will absolutely love this one. If this is your first encounter with Frank And Bernie and you're expecting something taut and serious, then... well... look at the title again.

This is Craig Moss really settling into the franchise and kicking it into high gear. Though billed here at IMDb as an action/crime flick, the franchise is built on a comedic foundation and Bayou delivers. I hope a Badass 4 is in the works, because like the Expendables and Fast and Furious franchises, this must go on.

Bayou is appropriately paced, well directed, well acted and side- splittingly funny. Enjoy!
