Bad Country

Una película de crimen promedia sin personalidad de autor. De aspecto televisivo, que recicla lo visto 100 veces. La dinámica narrativa está presente, pero los personajes carecen de rasgos más definidos. Suficiente para verla una vez, principalmente gracias a Dafoe, que es el más convincente en su papel. Al principio, Dillon se ve inseguro, de lo que resulta una posible intención de no expresar emociones y no revelar el carácter del personaje. Berenger, como el jefe supremo de la mafia, es discutible. Se parecía más a un tío borracho de una residencia de ancianos que a un villano aterrador. Para la tele y sus espectadores si les gusta ver cosas de cómo eran antes. (27.09.2014)

Every now and then, actors showcase some absolutely breathtaking acting performances in a movie that’s about as ordinary as a hotdog from a stand that gets fresh supplies about twice a week. And it’s a shame, because Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger and Matt Dillon straight up became American hicks in this movie and it was a joy to watch. Unfortunately, not even that could save the boredom, mediocrity and the ordinariness of everything else. (23.02.2016)

If it wasn't so average, it would be quite an interesting movie. However, it is just average and doesn't bring much else. The actors are good, their performances convincing just as needed. It's not overly complicated, it's simply about guys who want to do one good thing even though there is a risk they might not survive. It's okay, but nothing great. (26.04.2014)
