Two undocumented men are hired to dig a hole. Things become complicated that they are digging a grave for some very bad men.
I wasn't expecting a lot from BAD HOMBRES. I looked at the cast and the trailer and I thought it looked like a pretty good popcorn film that would be the perfect palette cleanse after the serious Oscar bait film that I was in the middle of at the end of December. Sitting down to watch the film one night a few weeks ago I found that the world drifted away and I was having a grand old time.
I loved that this mix of thriller and comedy does what it does very well and then it gets off. It doesn't do anything new, but it entertains from start to finish. There is tension, and humor and guns and blood and witty lines. What an absolute joy.
I see any number of similar films each year and it is so nice to see one where the cast and crew really cared about what they were doing.
By no means the greatest film ever made but this is the perfect film to clear the mind on a rainy evening.
