Film Review – Bad Hombres

After helming last fall’s little-seen “Muzzle,” director John Stalberg Jr. is back in action with “Bad Hombres,” returning to the land of vicious men playing dangerous games of trust, like so many B-movies of the last few years. Screenwriter Rex New arranges a situation of escalating violence in the American south, playing with border tensions and general lawlessness in the area. His intent seems to be the arrangement of verbal hostilities with the occasional spray of aggression. Stalberg Jr. appears to be aiming for Coen Brothers mode with “Bad Hombres,” but there’s not a lot of style and limited interest when it comes to these exasperatingly loquacious characters, who go on and on about their interests and lifestyles, but have surprisingly nothing of interest to share with viewers. Freshness and incident are mostly missing from the feature, which doesn’t get far on conversations alone. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
