Cactus Jack

" A good library has something that offends everyone."

Cactus Jack is not for the timid, or the easily offended. But good art is often offensive. This film is a barrel of TNT with Wile E. Coyote lighting a match on top of it, because it is a film about truth--there are those among us who spout hatred of their fellow man or woman, who incite violence and sponsor extremism in the name of a better America, in the name of a better world.

CACTUS JACK dares ask the questions, 'Are they your neighbors? Do you really know what they are capable of?'

CACTUS JACK takes the worst of these extremists and rolls them up into a single ball of fire, vividly and ferociously portrayed with an all-too-truthful realism. Nobody wants to admit these people exist, but the most terrifying aspect of this film is admitting to yourself they are out there. Among us. Next to us.

CACTUS JACK is a well-placed window into the soul of extremist xenophobia. It's a movie with balls, one that will offend many times over, but just when you believe it's too much, you'll realize it's making you think.

It is a brilliantly crafted film, a labor of love with a message. And if you can think for yourself, you'll see it.

Just watched it till the end because I thought there must be a whopping good twist or point coming. But nope. Can't unhear it (nothing to see really). Suggest you do not.

If anything its a free ticket to being able to spew hate and vile idea's. There is no balance, there is no lesson/idea; about 99% is cursing. Its a good source for foul language and anti-social behaviour. And its true that such an ideology like this exists I might even agree (if ever so slightly) with some of the arguments made. But it does nothing for those who do not share such a world view, rather it is fuel and intoxicating for those who do. We have seen the effect recently with the 2020 elections.

In short: A bad idea to give bad ideas such an accessible platform and format.

This reviewer, andrewoliverjazz, thought that anyone who only gave this ugly filth 1 or 2 stars was/is obviously a conservative. Andrew should learn manners and stay with discussing the film, and not insulting people, just because they disagree with their/his/her taste for foul mouthed despicable gutter filth!

Gutter language and attitude has grown to unbelievably all time low standards for at least 20 years! In that time it has gotten to the point whereby you can hardly see a film (from the USA or the UK) that uses bad language gratuitously throughout. It has become the must be type of script for many, many lackluster and talent less directors; who think they can score kudos by being shocking. This excuse for a drama is the most foul mouthed and disgusting release I have ever had the displeasure of watching...EVER! Its ludicrously inept with its white trash supremacist message because those idiots (no matter how lacking in brain cells and intelligence they are) do not/would not string together phrases in the manner of which they are used here. Proper grammatical usage just doesn't allow for such crap!

This film should never have been given a release (or made for that matter) by the Board of Censors. What is the point of protective censorship if the idiots on the board are lacking in common sense and respectful morality, thus allowing offensive garbage to be distributed. They, and the directors/Turner brothers, should be dragged into a court and charged with an offense of public decency etc then sacked, with the Turner brothers having their film licenses/credentials cancelled and revoked for good!

There is enough foul mouthed thug culture in our streets today, and I am sick to death of directors, script writers and producers pushing it into our homes relentlessly; just because they have no ideas, no real talent and no decency!

I gave it a 5/10 because I think they were at least trying to do something interesting. A lot of the 1 or 2 star reviews on here are pretty clearly from conservatives upset about the film's message and "propaganda." I suppose that's understandable. My issue with the film is not the message, but rather that it just isn't very good. You can only look at the same few shots of a guy talking to a camera for so long before it gets old. The Cactus Jack Show sections are far more interesting. We finally get some vibrant color and the imagery is pretty horrifying and surreal. If more of the film was like that - or if it had a narrative element at all - this could have really been something. I'm hoping that the people who made this film learn some lessons from it, because I think they have real potential.

Title says it all. This is a waste of time and effort and shouldn't even be viewed by by anyone. It's pure tribalism trying to get one side to hate the other based on assumptions of a reddit rat. Mind numbingly ridiculous and over the top in the worst way possible.
