The last few miles of the screenplay are more than a little predictable, but this isn’t at all bad for a directorial debut.

Rated: 3/5

Radio Times

The humour veers between Tarantino-style laconic quipping and broader, goofier moments, delivering a decent amount of laughs, plus across-the-board charismatic performances.

Bad Man ends up a fine enough movie when credits roll. But there are enough strong moments to suggest it could’ve been far better.

Bad Man coasts on Seann William Scott’s familiar “Stifler-grown-up” energy, which remains the film’s only real spark. Despite his talent, the movie wavers, collapsing into a muddled third act that leaves it more confounding than compelling.

Rated: 4/10

The first half left me lost—murky plot, zero laughs, and Seann William Scott flailing between funny and serious like he forgot the script; I almost bailed. Then the back half kicked in with real crime tension, solid action, and Johnny Simmons absolutely owning the sidelined local cop, while Chance Perdomo’s final DJ role broke my heart with effortless charm. Comedy hit-or-miss, thriller barely there, but that line “There are no good men. Only bad men and those who they bend” stuck hard. At 6/10, it’s a messy one-time watch—worth it for the late spark and Perdomo’s memory, but don’t expect genre balance.

This was actually an enjoyable film with quite a few laugh out loud moments. It actually could have been a tremendous film and with a few more smart jokes it qould have been. Very good

There's no line he won't cross. Bad Man is a 2025 American action comedy film co-written and directed by Michael Diliberti 👨🏻 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 In Colt Lake Tennessee, Sam Evans tackles a meth epidemic. He is side-lined on arrival of Bobby Gaines, an undercover agent. Despite Evans' local ties, Gaines is hailed as hero. Suspicions arise on Gaines which unravels a complex narrative.
