Utter Trash, Good For Bad Movie Fans, Better When Riffed
25 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The film is amazingly bad. So bad that it is a good film to see in a riffed version which is how I watched it. It's on the Roku channel OSI74 (and online at Vimeo) under its alternative title "The Executioner" on the show "Sleazy Pictures After Dark" hosted by GWAR heavy metal rock band manager character Sleazy P Martini. If you have never watched his shows and like terribly made exploitation films you may like his channel. The only thing is these are riffed meaning Sleazy pops up in a picture in picture mode during the film and makes some lewd joke comments. So, for bad film purists who can stand watching these trash films by themselves that may be a distraction, for me it's the only thing that keeps me interested in watching. The film itself starts out entertaining enough with some stupid violence of our protagonist and his buddy blowing away an office building full of people. Along the way they blow away what seems to be dozens of others and then play back the office building massacre for good measure. There is a noticeable absence of any police so this is a very libertarian society where anything seems to go. With that in mind, if I lived in this alternate reality, I would be wearing an armored vest and carrying big heat which nobody is doing. The effects are terrible but the mindless violence and occasional boob shot will carry the film through and garner the high ratings it does for those looking for the worst in cinema. For me, I give it a 4 in its straight up form, it's really bad but I didn't find it that entertaining by itself, but I'll give it a 7 when riffed by Sleazy, he had some pretty funny joke comments during the "films" absurdity.
