Very bad acting, was almost expecting a comedy but this one really sinks to new lows. One has to be on a potent cocktail of drugs to make this movie even slightly cohesive. There are plenty of gun fights, but for some reason they're the most realistic aspect of the whole sordid affair. I barely mustered up the courage to sit through the whole sordid affair of redneck after redneck getting either mildly agitated in a borderline comical manner or downright violent with horrendous acting thrown into the mix. A complete waste of time for everyone concerned and that would extend to the production crew and even the catering staff.

The Butcher
(2009)
Kickass action movie that fizzles out
26 November 2009
Over-the-top violence with an incredulous plot line. Why the police never catch up to this guy just further eludes to the fairy-tale concept. Reminds me of a film noir minus the black and white. A lot of 1940's themes, cheesy lines and concepts set in the modern age. The movie is filled with violent bloodbaths mirroring that of a Steven Seagal fight scene. How this guy comes out on top is clearly some well executed choreography. It leaves the viewer in utter disbelief. It basically takes a turn for the worse and loses momentum like a lead balloon like the director gained a terrible drug addiction and just didn't care anymore. I almost feel like I've been violated. This one is probably a good film if you're on a psychedelic drug because it is all hype and little else.
