A group of veterans are forced to defend a young woman who takes refuge in their bar, fleeing from some dangerous traffickers.
A film in the classic grindhouse style, Quentin Tarantino's childhood focus. In a context that seems like a parallel universe, the action is never stopping, without any certain rhythm or logic, and always moves actors normally in the background in better known films in the foreground, giving them tired lines of typical American heroes and the chance to give their characters an exit of limited glory. In theory, the film should have worked great, with the actors doing a good job, but the script is simply unsatisfactory, resulting in an actually boring film, even with all the blood loss, obscene head smashing and the megalomaniacal attitudes.
It should get extra points for authenticity though as the picture quality, overall darkness and the soundtrack are very true to the grindhouse concept.
