08/03/2020 With a central powerful performance by Camille as Marsha Kane. Writer Director Sam Farmer delivers a powerful tale that often feels like an updated homage to the classic Straw Dogs but also has a wonderful western feel to its setting. Brutal. tense, and wonderfully shot, this film had me hooked from its open theme track by Franko Carino mixed over a ‘what is going on' montage where we are introduced to what most definitely looks like a crime scene, a gun, a suitcase, all building up the jigsaw of the soon to be plot. Cry for the Bad Man is definitely a film worth checking out. See more 05/06/2020 The story is a less than straightforward thriller that starts off with cool artistic shots of apparent tragedy. It really opens up to the more tension based thriller that it is soon there after. The concept isn't new, and "Cry For The Bad Man" clearly pays tribute to early 70's grindhouse. Most of what the film showcases is classic "woman versus bad man" suspense mixed with a lot of carnage. The acting isn't stellar, but it maintains a strong enough presence to create recognizable characters, if not cliche, so that the story flows. There isn't a lot of down time or clunkiness to "Cry For The Bad Man". Exposition is minimal, straightforward and substantive. The dialog is short and direct and the overall story arc is entertaining to watch unfold. The special effects are quality, practical effects and atmospheric suspenseful moments of tension. Shadowy scenes blend with gunfire and bloodshed. All of which is very reminiscent of classic grindhouse. Although "Cry For The Bad Man" isn't at the top of it's game, minor scenes where some characters lose momentum, it is a good, intense, and brutal genre piece worth checking out.
