Shoot the Hero

There once was a movie and it started of good...it had potential. It had promise, but then 10 minutes in, it had taken a turn somewhere that you would not expect it to go.

It turned into a plot less, pointless, boring movie with characters that offer little and a plot that offers even less.

3 stories which were supposed to merge into 1 - where none of them developed anything more than a mild interest in the beginning and a fizzle shortly after.

This was a movie that was free and I appreciated that, because had I paid, I would have been let down AGAIN!

Sesma is onto something with his tale of Nate, Kate, the Smith Brothers, Crazy Joe, Franklin, Grant, and a band of misfits raising havoc in what appears to be the middle of nowhere.

With over-the-top action sequences and adult-like crude humor of some savory and not-so-savory folks alike, Shoot the Hero is a fun, wham-bam- thank-you-ma'am, edge-of-your-seat ride that will easily become an instant cult-classic with a cerebral bent.

Overall, each of the main characters are rather interesting, with each of their stories told at a grippingly fast pace, reminding moviegoers of a similar gangster-crime saga of a cult classic in El Mariachi.

This is possibly one of the worst movies ever made. This movie is so bad both the director and the screenwriter should consider hanging themselves. I have no idea how anything that reaches the masses could be so utterly disappointing and uninteresting. This movie lacked both an adventurous plot as well as a humorous tone. It is unconceivable to think that a major production team could have patched this movie up as it lacked practically every aspect of a semi-decent movie.

This movie was so bad that I deliberately turned on my laptop, registered here on IMDb, and posted this comment.

Unbelievable that people got paid in the production of this movie.

Watching this movie made me appreciate all of the movies that I have ever taken for granted.

Shoot the director and the writer was a more proper title, don't wait too many things from this film ,the actors are good but the acting is bad because of the influential silly plot i suppose , its a low budget film it is obvious but with good intentions a full studio and backyard filming taking place nothing special , the only thing i liked was the actors all the casting was excellent it was the proper people for the job but with a better plot or filming i think they could have done better results than this one .Generally it is an entertaining but kinda boring film , watch it only if you don't have better things to do , or watch it for the talented actors that playing on this film without support at all and trust me the result is amazing if you understand they got no support at all.Also it is amazing how those actors made this unwatchable plot watchable with their presence not with their acting. Mediocre to awful gangster movie 4/10

...of itself? Most people here seem to think so. And yes the movie tries very hard to be clever and sometimes (many times) it does not achieve anything quite as good as what its goal is. Trying to copy from the "best" (Tarantino and others, though the former does also like to "copy" as he says himself) is not a bad idea to start off. But when people start comparing you with those other guys you copy, you should be prepared to take a hit or two.

The movie takes quite a few hits here. But still managed to get people like Fred Williamson and Danny Trejo involved. The former was a producer as he said at a con and got Danny to be in the movie. Trying to give back as both said. Helping new filmmakers out. And if you ask Fred, than this movie, as any other movie he is involved, is at least great! Then again he might not have seen it himself, so who is he to judge?

Seriously though: If you can get over a few bumps throughout the whole thing and don't compare it too much to other movies ... you might enjoy it quite a bit. Which is a testament to the actors.
