Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreNude Nuns with Big Guns is not as violent as Tarantino's Django Unchained, but it certainly is funnier.The flick is absolutely plausible to anyone who was assaulted by Crazy Bob, a monk who taught and battered students in Baltimore. The violence is so intense that it is clearly ironic, making the movie humorous.The producers probably intended to create a cult classic, and to ease the bruised memories of Catholic criminal contacts of the past. With a budget of $200,000 the product, seen in perspective, pleases those with a sense of humor. The photography is workmanlike. The lighting is professional. The script is well written and leaves a smile on your face. The ending is the funniest part of the movie. I can't ethically spoil that. You'll have to view the movie for yourself.
... View MoreI wanted to like this one a lot more. But there are some glaring problems that keep it from scoring any higher for me.First the only people I felt were doing anything with their characters were the leads. Which isn't completely bad, at least they cast people who could act some in the leads.Lighting and sound really have some horrifically bad moments in the film. Characters talking and you couldn't hear them. And the night scenes with a very nice Chevelle SS 396 where you could only see headlights.A lot of scenes where you could almost hear the director thinking "yeah, I guess that's okay, but you know what, I think we really need all the girls to be naked and rubbing their boobies over everyone on the set." Don't get me wrong, I like naked girls, but there is a point of diminishing returns when almost Every... Single... Scene... in the film is accessorized by boobies.There are some very good decisions made that were definite pluses to the film. The love story, while expected, did add to the story and was not completely gratuitous. David Castro's villain has most of the best lines, and several times comes dangerously close to being sympathetic. Asun Ortega does crazy very well, and the 'dress whites' as seen in the poster for the film really added to the moment.This is not a date movie, shoot it's not a mixed company movie in any manner. But for a guilty pleasure movie to watch when you are home alone, you could do worse.
... View MoreI was instantly curious if there would be any nuns left to satisfy the title as they started the film shooting them all.We soon see the nude nuns as they are processing dope for the gang run by the Church. But, they don't last long either,I actually though this was a low budget Mexican thriller, but it was made right here in the USA.If you like lots of boobies and even more bullets, then this is your film. The ending suggests a sequel. lol.I imagine that the producers are playing off the success of Machete, but they fall far short.
... View MoreThere can only be two possible reasons for a film to bear the title Nude Nuns With Big Guns. One is that the person doing the naming suffers from some sort of severe mental illness - let us hope that this is not the case, for the film is not bad enough for me to wish that on someone. The other is that the makers are going for some sort of post-modern irony, a satirical commentary on audience taste, born out by a movie taking a gleeful delight in both revelling in and spoofing the elements summoned up in the title. Tarantino is good at this, so they tell me (I don't believe his publicity to the extent that he does, so my particular jury is still out on that one). The people behind Nude Nuns With Big Guns are not Tarantino.This film (which, let's be clear from the start, does indeed include both Nude Nuns and Big Guns) is professionally assembled. The camera is securely mounted on a tripod, scenes are well lit, shots are nicely composed, the film is in focus and the sound is clear. The acting is over the top, but it is supposed to be. There is lots of spurting blood. To that extent, all well and good.But the story and script let everything down. Where there should be a sly smirk underlying the events, there is clodhopping gracelessness and a complete absence of wit. Sadly, this film simply isn't very good.
