That Bear Guy Was Funny
nammage27 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This isn't a Comedy but it does have comedic lines, and I did laugh at most of them but the 'Your Mama, too.' (i.e. clichéd jokes) were typically lame. So, a task force is looking into a biker gang working with a Russian. The story is point A to point B, which usually bugs me but here: not so much. The acting wasn't that bad in the beginning but gradually it did get a bit worse for wear. The Director, who plays the bit part of one of the bikers named 'Bear'fake was actually pretty funny and I thought he should have been in it a little more to cut down on some of the redundancies throughout.

The 'action' scenes lacked any real (metaphorically speaking) action. Such as a scene in the beginning where the Russian is having another man beat this dude sitting down who apparently stole from him, or something (don't really remember.) You can tell the hits were fake, and the dude's reaction to them lame and corny. Also, after the Russian shoots him and blood splatters everywhere, there's no bullet hole on the dude's body that would warrant that amount of splatter. The head in the bag actually looked more real than not, however the Russian holding the head with the face showing obviously looked like the actress was just crouching. Typically, blood splatter is the 'action' when it comes to any shooting, except maybe that sniper shot near the end. Yes, there's a shootout with the bikers but too much splatter just made it a bit humorous, and not in a good way.

Probably not done on purpose (or was and I should give more props to people) but I like the double entendre of the title "Blue Iron". Overall, I actually liked it. It wasn't perfect by any means but it wasn't the worst thing ever, either. I wanted to give this a 6/10 but I couldn't. The acting (as stated) just got a little bit worse than some of the free-flowing lines in the beginning and writing was all over the place.

I decided to try this show an wow i regret it. The dialogue is terrible its so clunky an over expressive. No one talks like they do in this show. The acting holy god is it bad. Theres a few decent actors but jesus the majority are terrible. It needs so much work to be a good show.

SOOO BAD! Like a high school play but with worse production values and more-amateurish acting. A real head-scratcher how this thing could reek so much.

The acting is just as bad as the hokey, cliche-filled writing. With a purported budget of less than $90,000, I have to wonder what they spent that much on. It's highly unlikely any of the "actors" in this steaming pile could possibly charge for their services. And there isn't a single example of any professional stunt men. The scene of the guy being beaten and interrogated for stealing from the Russian mob boss (a cliche we've all seen hundreds of times, and always done better) had all the violence of a Cub Scout jamboree. The cops show up to a "bloody" crime scene that causes a detective to get sick from the carnage, but it amounted to nothing more than a small can of tomato paste thrown against a plastic drop cloth.

The sets are all pathetic; the strip club looks like an overly-lit middle school cafeteria. The Russian bad guy speaks fractured English sounding like he just crossed the border from Mexico. The "leader" of the biker gang is short, fat and looks like a harmless little Pokemon. The cops are mostly chubby women who sound like they're reading their lines and can't trash talk believably, but that's also the writer's fault.

Oh yeah, the writing: this goof of an action movie contains every stupid cliche ever seen in biker movies, cop movies, crime movies and the worst TV shows ever seen.

How can something this pathetically terrible get made? Moreover: WHY? Anybody associated with this bucket of slop will be tainted forever. You do NOT want this thing on your resume, even if all you did was watch your cross-dressing uncle play a fat stripper in it. (Yes, the women are incredibly unattractive.). Avoid this, unless laughing at really bad movies is your thing.
