A different way of telling a story

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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.

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!

Not going to go in depth but it is a pretty good "bad" movie... If you watch close there are a lot of filming mistakes...like misspellings in the translations when the characters talk in foreign language or the telephone receiver is unplugged from the base when they are talking on it. This makes for entertaining viewing, worth seeing. Don't be expecting some high quality filming from expensive audio/video equipment. It could definitely be remade into a hit with some storyline editing and more money into the production. I would recommend it even with the lower quality filming. Pretty good for up and coming filmmakers to see how you can creatively film on a budget.

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!!!
