Bring Me the Head of the Machine Gun Woman (2012)

Load of rubbish!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Frightfest Glasgow again! (note: this movie I would never have seen, if it wasn't at a festival)Okay, I know what this movie is trying to do. Problem is it does not succeed all that well.I haven't seen many Spanish movies, and it being in a language I absolutely don't know didn't do it any favors I'm afraid. I have nothing against movies in foreign languages, but if they are, they damn well better be entertaining. Because if they are boring, it gets more boring when you don't know the language. And this is a little boring. They have tried to make it Machete-ish - that kind of over-the-top-style, but it just didn't work for me.It has a couple of cool scenes, some alright action, but not nearly enough or cool enough action. I was kind of relieved when it was over.

Same style, same laugh out loud humour, same degree of nudity, but I would say this is more violent.There are real belly ache laugh out loud moments and I found it very entertaining after the initial 20 minutes. Some elements at the start aggravated me at first until I got used to the style and there is plenty of style to be seen.There are some very random "what the hell" which are real eyebrow raisers so be warned. The music is not really my thing but it added to the wackiness of the movie and the sense of fun it seems to convey.THE MOVIE IS ABOUT: a player of computer games who accidentally becomes involved in a live version of Grand Theft Auto complete with missions and ways to make money on the way. The ultimate mission is the title of the movie "Bring Me The Head Of The Machine Gun Woman." Easier said than done. The guy who stumbles in to the game is given 24 hrs to successfully complete this mission. On the way he has to do other missions.This is it in a nutshell. If you like Russ Meyer's Vixen movies you will love this as long as you don't mind subtitles or you have found a version dubbed in your language or you can speak Spanish.I personally decided I like this movie 25 minutes after it started because of the way it makes me laugh so hard.

Most definitely fun, if you let it though. A sleaze-ball of a film if there is one. There has been a revival (at least at the festival circus) and this movie does ride that wave perfectly. A tough woman that is still very attractive. It might depend on your taste in women I guess and your other "likes", but I'm pretty sure quite a lot of people will feel a "strange" attraction to the main character here.Just as our "hero" of the movie does. While the female lead might not convince entirely (I thought she looked like she didn't really felt the "moment" or her "character" from time to time), this will not be something that will leave you with a bad impression of the movie. The simple "story" if you want to call it that, is just the backbone for the mayhem and violence that follows. If you like that, you'll be in for a treat, if not don't bother watching.

The title may frighten some off. Actually I thought it looked a bit silly. But sometimes you have to try something new.I am big fan of Tarantino and Rodriguez's grindhouse films, and I will compare this film with those two. The look is grim and grindhouse and the violence evil and extreme.The running time on 73 minutes is perfect, as all bulls**t and fill is cut.The reason it doesn't get a 10 is that it feels a liiitle slow for a about ten minutes after 45 minutes, but it compensates with a blast of an ending.To be honest I didn't expect much, but it was 73 minutes of lots of fun, bloody violence and sexy action.
