BAD ASS [2012]

Craig Moss, known for generally bad spoof films, directs Danny Trejo in Bad Ass, a film that takes pride in being...well...bad.
Loosely inspired by the AC Transit Bus Fight, this C-movie is brought up a few notches from Trejo's surprisingly grizzled, yet charismatic performance.  Beyond that, it's really, really bad and occasionally quite funny for it's terrible dialogue, nonsensical situations and a climatic bus chase that's footage is so obviously stolen right out of Red Heat with some minor digital alterations.   I don't know if were intended to recognize it but if not it makes all the more funnier.
