Frank Vega teams up with grumpy old agoraphobic Bernie Pope to kick ass and clean up the streets of L.A.

For those of you who have come late to this franchise (yes there is a proper trilogy for these movies) the original movie for the franchise was inspired by fight that occurred on an AC Transit Bus Fight in Oakland California on February 15 2010.
If Danny Glover was ‘too old for this shit’ back in 1987, he is most certainly too old for this in 2015. But that’s the draw for this movie, come to think of it’s it only draw. And for those of you who are wondering IMDB credits Danny Glover as being two years younger than Danny Trejo at age 70 ( personally I thought Trejo was younger then that).
Don’t go into this one expecting award winning performances or for that matter decent visual effects. There seemed to be more than a few explosions and a couple of other effects that just did not seem quite right. The best I could tell.
Instead go into this one with a beer in your hand and have a movie night with your friends because there should be just enough jokes to take you over the line. Am I going to bother with the third movie ‘Bad Ass 3: Bad Asses on the Bayou’? I’d like to think that common sense would prevail to prevent me from watching this 3 instalment in the Bad Ass franchise. But somehow I know morbid curiosity is going to get the better of me. So watch this space.
