Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Do you like gratuitous violence, tits 'n' ass? course you do, who doesn't. Well what better way to show off some blatant soft porn than in a low-rent, Tarantino/Robert Rodriquez-esque rip-off or clone...but minus the decent acting, effects and everything else. I mean look at that title, it speaks volumes about what your about to head into, you literally can't fail to understand what you should expect from something called this. And its those exact reasons why I decided to watch this movie...translation, sleaze fest...because who doesn't like a good sleaze fest now and then? Oh wait I already covered that angle.The plot is actually a slight mix of a few genres for starters. Obviously there is the outrageous, CGI filled, guns 'n' gore side of it which is clearly taking cues from certain Rodriguez movies. But then there is a slightly more noir-ish side to the tale, at times, its not a constant theme but its there. Then you have this clear comicbook- esque vibe about it, obviously more along the lines of 'Kick-Ass' and more so 'Sin City', there are also small nuggets of Bond spoofing going on at times, and finally you that rather obvious grindhouse type quality about everything. So nothing of any originality to be found here lets be honest, although again, if we're honest, this did actually come out back in 2009 so I guess this may have been more original than I'm giving it credit for.The story is told with constant flashbacks to previous incidents that slowly build a full picture (gee I wonder where they got that notion from). I guess this could work if the flashbacks were any more coherent that the main plot segments but alas they're not. In fact they don't really add that much to the backstory at all really, they don't exactly clear up any plot holes...but tend to add more if anything! All they seem to do is give the director an opportunity to add in more gratuitous soft porn scenes involving his main female protagonists in different seedy locations, in very tight latex/scantily clad outfits (I'm not overly complaining about that though). You see all of the main plot is based out in the desert, all of the flashbacks are set in gritty, seedy, neon lit bars or alleyways in some city, so they just add seedy tits 'n' ass in a different location.The main story is basically a common as muck tale about these three women trying to locate some buried valuable items (not totally sure what actually) in the desert. The valuable items are of course property of some mega violent criminal mobster, who we only in name for the most part, and the three women are of course not entirely who they appear to be. Yep its the old ulterior motive type situation again, with the old twists, turns and back-stabbings that come along with it. The three protagonists are naturally very hot, very sexy, very firm and very delicious. One is an innocent, slightly submissive, weak, brunette stripper. The other is a tough, martial arts knowing, slightly ripped, very suspicious, dirty blonde, mouthy bitch. Finally, the leader is more of a calm, level- headed, stylish, classy red head who is definitely modelled after the classic, black and white noir detective flicks of the 50's.These three pretty much bicker and fight each other for the entire runtime as they try to locate this buried treasure. Every now and then you get the odd character turning up to attempt some level of suspense such as the cute young police officer who amazingly doesn't get f*cked and used, even though you'd bet your last Dollar on it. What we do get is lots of close-ups on the girls faces showing their expressions (for some reason), lots of gunplay and gun sounds, lots of desert, lots of girly sexual innuendos, plenty of lesbian action (and I mean plenty), and a shittonne of tacky CGI and ultra tacky greenscreen effects. Hell we even get a full on wet t-shirt type sequence where all three women throw water over themselves in slow motion. And what Tarantino/Rodriquez rip-off/clone would be complete without a cute psychotic Asian woman in a micro miniskirt, pigtails and a unique deadly weapon in the form of a razor bladed yo-yo (she also has a very crazy Mad Max-esque partner). Oh and not forgetting the fact they even manage to crowbar in a gratuitous, nun in hot black PVC underwear, sequence too, you know...because its a top rated fetish with pervs (absolutely nothing wrong with that of course, he says with a broad grin across his naughty face).Lets be frank here (you can be Bob), as I said at the start we all know what we're getting into with a movie like this. You can see it on the cover, you can see it with the films title, you know what to expect and naturally you get plenty of it. The movie isn't pretending to be anything else, its set out its stall and its sticking to it, and with that I can't fault it really. not on that front. The movie wanted to be a sleazy, grindhouse type flick with bucketfuls of hokey, cartoonish CGI action sequences...and that's exactly what is it, at no point does the film hide from this. So all I can say is, if you enjoyed movies like 'Machete' then firstly you'll know where I'm coming from. Secondly, you'll probably enjoy this as its basically a lower budget version with (probably) more tits 'n' ass.5/10

Three women with bad attitudes and awesome cleavages—Camero (America Olivo), Trixie (Julia Voth) and Hel (Erin Cummings)—attempt to locate a fortune in diamonds, but are pursued by vicious villains working for the mysterious underworld figure known as Pinky.Judging by this film's opening credits, which features short clips of classic exploitation movies, writer/director Rick Jacobson is a big fan of the grind-house genre. What he isn't, however, is a particularly good film-maker, his approach being to throw all of the adolescent fantasies he has ever harboured into one messy script, assemble a great set of tits and ass, and hope for the best. Unfortunately, on this occasion, 'the best' just simply isn't good enough: unlike a director like Tarantino, who has made a successful career out of exploitation homages, Jacobson doesn't appear to have the necessary talent to back up his fanboyism.Admittedly, an hour and a half of watching big-breasted bimbos indulge in lesbian trysts, fire big guns, battle over-the-top bad-guys and partake in water-fights is never going to be a complete waste of time, but the result really should have been a whole lot more fun than this. The dreadful script is largely to blame, the cringe-worthy dialogue consisting of endless, supposedly amusing slang-terms for the vagina and assorted ridiculous one-liners. Similarly, the action is intentionally over-the-top, like a live-action cartoon, but it is rarely exciting, very predictable and rapidly becomes extremely tiresome.I rate Bitch Slap 4 out of 10, plus a very generous half point each for the Japanese killer in the school-girl outfit with the razor yo-yo and the well choreographed prolonged punch up between Camero and which involves lots of pain inflicted to the nether regions (listen out for the comedy cat miaow sound effect—my favourite moment in the whole film!).

Bitch Slap sees a gang of scantily clad ladies journey into the desert in an attempt to steal 200 million dollars worth of diamonds. If you're a fan of trashy exploitation flicks and love guns, cleavage, and women getting out of cars in slow-motion, then Bitch Slap was made with you in mind. It's fun, it's hyperactive, and it's a film that does not disappoint. Never promising to be more than it is, it succeeds in being more fun and funnier than one would expect. It's the kind of film where they take a break from the plot in order for the women to just pour water over each other. Many memorable scenes take place as a ridiculous but engaging plot unravels. I hope we can see more films like Bitch Slap over the next decade.

Alright, maybe perfection is a bit exaggerated for this movie, but seriously, we all know who would want to watch this: guys who appreciate jaw-dropping sex appeal, and girls who like girl power, and I don't think either of those would want their objectives mixed with gore or excessive, bloody violence.To whoever made this movie or is thinking of producing a similar movie, next time just keep the gore & violence down a bit, or ideally no gore at all. Believe it or not, I would've been willing to give a 10 just for the movie's tough-bitch theme, and the genuinely charismatic and jaw-droppingly sexy ladies in this movie, who aren't doing a bad job at all in acting. However, the unnecessary exaggerated violence, the gore, which included torture, made me cringe and really distracted me from focusing on what I'm really there for: the sex appeal and tough-bitch stuff.And by the way, to know what type of viewer I am, I don't watch such movies every day; I actually like reading for example and listen to classical music often, but we all know that men may succumb sometimes to the temptation of such trashy but too-sexy-to-resist entertainment. Hah! Just drop the gore and cringe-inducing violence next time, please.
