7/10
Simple Jacked
19 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Joe Ritter's script felt like the lines from Commando extras infused with a tinge of glamour and a Dante/Raimi darkness. The lead protagonist is a C.H.U.Dian built superhero version of Day of the Dead's "Bud". (So, in essence, it's Bud the C.H.U.D...) Andree Miranda plays the attractive but flat testosterone absorbing female better than Roxanne Kernohan.

The gore is cartoonish but satisfying for those who expect the entire movie to be like Emil's toxic demise in Robocop.

Lloyd Kaufman's direction was perfectly lackluster, being sure to get plenty of gore and cheese without any substance to throw off the taste. While Mark Torgl's lead feels eerily similar to Simple Jack, in a good way.

If anything, this movie shows that, in order to go full vengeance, sometimes you have to go full retard.
