A Bunch of Nonsense

Rating:


Two bikers take off to go to Sturgis (which happens in August, though a
newspaper says it is still Spring) and get involved in some sort of
government chicanery.

This comes to us from director James Fargo, best known for "Every Which
Way But Loose" and reunites Casper Van Dien with a terrible beard and
Patrick Muldoon from "Starship Troopers". This is the second film to do
this in 2011 (the first is "Turbulent Skies") and the lesser of the
two.

Also here is William Forsythe as Jack Steele. He is so talented, I feel
bad they put him in this film. And I am not sure what the point was. He
comes off as menacing but his henchman are hapless dopes like the cop
in "Smokey and the Bandit". So is this a comedy? An action film? What
is it?

Another reviewer called this film "beyond awful", and that is the sad
truth. The plot seems to make sense, at least for a while, but then
goes radically divergent from any sort of sense. Plots start and end at
any given moment, people disappear without explanation… just when I
thought I knew what was going on, I was more confused than before. And
I was sober.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this film. Maybe with a case of beer and
a friend or two it is worth watching, but I found very little redeeming
in it.
