Bad Hombres

Fortunately, the actors do their thing well, some secondary characters call your attention, and the humor employed takes away the solemnity of the whole ordeal, but the shootouts shine rather realistically. [Full review in Spanish]

This twisty, low-budget crime thriller feels like a less-funny, second-tier sampling of Quentin Tarantino or Elmore Leonard, but its brutal creativity and high style make it compelling.

Bad Hombres is a soulless and violent 21st century Western that is just a bunch of terribly staged chase scenes, obnoxious characters, and cliché-filled shootouts. It's time-wasting junk that has nothing interesting to show or tell.

Amid the maze of betrayal and revenge among unscrupulous scoundrels, the plot twists are as barren as the setting.

The plotting becomes burdened by familiarity ... [and] an assortment of clichés...

Invigorating look at immigration, crime pushes past woke expectations.

Stalberg never pretends to be making anything other than a stock B-movie, but he executes the familiar beats with style and care.

Freshness and incident are mostly missing from the feature, which doesn’t get far on conversations alone.

Discounting the unpleasant taste Bad Hombres leaves, the movie’s greatest sin is that it isn’t even entertaining for what it is.
