Worth for the fun and satisfying revenge of Danny Trejo. Terrible in everything else.

I loved the senior citizen humor in this movie!!! It was a great old fashioned shoot ‘‘em up show with the right amount of action and humor mixed. Loved it!

This movie absolutely SUCKED. Trejo is so fucking ugly it is tough to watch him. I feel bad for the poor actress that had to kiss him. Stupid movie. The fucking guy didn't change his clothes the whole movie. And what's with that stupid fanny pack? All that ahole did was walk around like he was carrying watermelons. Fucking turd.

It's often difficult to tell what's bad on purpose or just badly handled. The cargo shorts and fanny pack? Purposely funny. The slack pacing? Probably not.

...rarely (if ever) manages to satisfactorily exploit its irresistible setup.

Bad Ass won't be confused with 'Death Wish' or even 'Gran Torino,' but it's superior to Trejo's recent dud 'Machete'

What started as internet shock value turned into a joke, and that joke has been flattened into a humor-impaired bore in Bad Ass.

It's the casual tone that makes all the difference, but it can't quite carry the movie.
