As far as independent/Haitian action movies go this was above the curve in terms of plot and action. But the movies short comings took away from what should have been an easy standard revenge flick. Man loses family to violent thugs, man goes on a bloody path to revenge. Its the type of plot that always win, that being said, when you make a movie that has been done over and over again you start noticing the failures in details. The dialogue between the actors was stiff at times, like you can tell the actors were focusing on remembering their lines as oppose to saying them, at other times you just knew they were reading them straight off the script. The time line between when. the lead was shot and his “miraculous” recovery was fuzzy. The complete absence of police in this “bloody” tale was just blatantly obvious. I put the word bloody in quotations because ironically the lack of actual blood in many of the kills in the movie. The lead villain Machete who walks around with a machete, (how original of a name), slice and dices through out the movies yet some how stays clean of blood splatters. As one commentator pointed out the visuals changed in mid film that was obvious for anyone to see.

Yet with all of that I still recommend this film, it is an ambitious project that falls short on the little things but is tops as far as Haitian action movies go and I am sure will be a blue print for others to follow if not improve upon. This one gets an automatic cult classic status in my opinion and a must have in anyone’s collection.(B-)

Finally saw it in its entirety.

I think the previews might have set expectations a bit too high. While the movie was great it had several shortcomings. Not sure if they changed cameras in between shootings, but the visuals took a beating in between. For this industry, the fight scene was good.
This is one of the movies where you need to have an original copy at your house to share wt. non Haitian friends in order to impress them about Haitian movies.

For now, I rest with a score of 6.5/10
After watching this movie, I realize that the story was similar to something I saw back in 2007 (Not on DVD). It reminds me of Bal Rouj from 2007 where the protagonist Junior Metellus (from Pluie d’Espoir) was in T. Delerme predicament.

This movie wasn’t too bad, for an HAITIAN movie I give it 5 out of 10. The quality was on and off = OK and BAD. The beginning was OK and the end was a turn off. I was expected to see more good actions or to be amaze by some good stunts. You guys need to work on the fights (train before the movie), the gun effects (get some heavy weapons) and training Hobie before shooting the next movie. It’s not a bad start.

I want my money back.
The beginning was good and than after 5 mins, it was all crap; what happen to the actions?
It was just loud noise for nothing.
Do you guys really call this a movie?

To Anthony, who made a comment that he will never buy another Haitian action movie, wait until you see the movie Mechan Dou..you might change your mind.
