Bad Girls

I heard that this was one of those super-low-budget movies you need to watch, and the movie reviewer over at ArsTechnica rarely steers me wrong, but I still spun up the shiny disc this evening with my expectation bar set very low. As if.

I loved this movie. Sure, it's uneven here and there as you would expect from an indie flick with a capital INDIE, but it does a hell of a lot with so very little.

It's got some great cars, great lines, guns, lots of action, a raspy soundtrack that works well, characters that I would have never guessed at the start that I would come to identify with by the end, and some of the most inventive trippy drug scenes ever.

If this doesn't turn into a bona fide cult flick then there is no justice in the universe. Find a copy. Watch it. And tell your friends.

Most movies I find are predictable and follow the rules. This movie is wild and has no clue there are rules. Anything can and often dies happen. The characters are unique and I have met people that make bad choices and imagine most of this could happen. I would certainly watch more from the creators.

One of the strangest genres of films to review -- or even watch! -- are the so-called "grindhouse" knockoffs where the film-maker deliberately set out to recreate the sort of films you would have found in the early 70s playing at theatres where a double or triple bill (of similar films of course) was the norm, and often the most exciting part of the experience was wondering if you would survive the trip to the restroom and back. Here is the paradox. If the film-maker (Bickel in this case) fails, then the film is flawed. But if the film-maker succeeds at essentially creating a loud, raw, and massively imperfect film -- does that deserve praise??? Several reviewers here seem to have thought YES, and rated this film on par with Matrix and Avengers and Godfather. Not this reviewer, however. Like most things today, a matter of personal choice.

For what it is, this is wayyyyyy above average. Hi octane ,frenectic, well construct. Here we have 3 females going Insane on a rampage.

Great electonic beats 70 disco/80 alternative soundtracks that keep the movie momentum and style super alive. OMG, what about the death apeed black metal or whats not.

Great cast, solid direction, fun script.

The edit is nervous, 16mm style at times, lots of imagery. Some may found it too artsy, too cheap but i say F that, it was fitting like a glove. Think Analog, not digital.... Nearly every situations cranked to 11.

. Super High Value low budget film.

Another example of family and friends that writes the reviews to rate the film up. First of all the three leading actresses are all horrible at acting which of course makes it one of those movies hard to even watch through. I did it to give it a fair shot but it didn´t get any better and as stated above, such poor acting can´t save any movie. The only good thing is that the girls seems to have a fun time doing the movie. Good for them that they enjoyed it because i bet it will be a long time until they get casted again.
