Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A Masterpiece!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Cool, two people I already have met in the flesh and are cult together in an action flick, I'm talking about Danny Trejo and Fred Williamson. This must be 100% exploitation I thought. How foolish I could be to see this. This is boring as hell and the story doesn't work at all. maybe the first 10 minutes are worth seeing but from that point on it's downhill. And it goes deep underground. It is supposed to be funny, never laughed. It is supposed to tell 3 different stories that combine into 1, huh? They do come across each other but what the hell, maybe the best part is the 46 minute when you see 2 girls from behind seducing Danny Trejo. I just can't understand that Trejo and Williamson agreed to make such a pile of sh*t.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 0/5 Comedy 0/5

A 30-something couple (Jason Mewes and Samantha Lockwood) unintentionally become involved in a botched jewel heist while shopping for wedding rings...I do not want to spend too much time trying to critique this movie. Despite having some decent actors in here and a somewhat interesting, somewhat humorous, story... all I can say is, what the heck? This was sort of like a hot mess. Your best characters are the Smith Brothers, whereas your worst character is Nate (Mewes). And, of course, they make Nate the main character.I love Jason Mewes, and I love to see him in a role outside of the stoner sidekick box. But something was wrong here. Either he cannot act (possible, but not necessarily true) or nobody gave a hoot while making this film and did not even try for passing-grade performances (more likely true). Not fun, not good.

I've seen many movies that are much worse, but the opening 20 minutes of this movie were terrible. The next twenty minutes were tolerable, the last twenty minutes were another descent into banality.To fully appreciate the problems with this movie, I have to offer "spoilers". I put the spoilers in quotes because the movie is a bit too predictable to be spoiled. So Mewes and his girlfriend are ring shopping, but she's basically fallen out of love with him. Robbers break into the store, and while they are shooting the place up Mewes and his would be fiancée are having trading nastiness while hiding behind the counter. Did I mention the shootout started with five guys having their guns aimed at one guy, and yet somehow the one guy gets to cover? They are blasting away for five minutes, but nothing and no one gets hit. They are in a jewelry store and there are no exploding cases or anything. Even before that when they are robbing the place, no one's actually stealing anything. Eventually all the bad guys run out of bullets and they fight with knives. Mewes and his girlfriend start to sneak out, but oops, they are caught. Mewes goes nuts when lone standing bad guy starts groping his woman, so he attacks and knocks the guy out. Now his girlfriend all the sudden thinks he's hot stuff, and apparently no longer minds that Mewes said she's a cold fish...Oh, I forgot to mention that the script was so clever as to have the dialog exchange between Mewes and the girl matching the dialog between the two sides of the bad guy confrontation. Instead of cringing in fear they are breaking up.Basically this is a low budget movie with a couple of familiar names and faces. The dialog was drawn out to try to make up for the lack of action. The characters are mostly caricatures and often a poorly chosen caricature for the part. The most believable acting is by the guys who play the two brothers, and they are just about the worst characters in the movie.

New to IMDb, this film caught my attention, surprisingly. My wife and I happened to see this in a Boston film festival back in April. Cool cast, we love "that Mexican guy", who I know now as Machete. I had to say we really had a fun time with it. We stayed for the q&a with the film's leading lady, who was very nice and pretty and the director. Big surprise was the films' budget, which was nothing, and the other cool ways on how it got made. Nonetheless, people will mistake SHOOT THE HERO as an action film like the Losers or something, but we know it as an independent film that was funny too. Good time...oh and Jay and Silent Bob actor, Jason, was really great.
