The Big Ugly

No character backgrounds confusing. Just really boring. Great cast of good actors but lacking any real purpose in the story. Just awful

The film had a good plot but was unfortunately butchered by the lack of character profiles and terrible script writing, the action scenes sucked, it was like the producer was a fan of sons of anarchy and snatch and thought " ooo that would be a good film!

British lads buy into an oil deal in an attempt to launder money. Vinny Jones and Malcom McDowell star as Neelyn and Harris, trying to make some easy cash. With Preston (Ron Perlman) as the usual sidekick. Here, he respects and bonds with the locals. Also produced by Ron Perlmen. So of course, he's going to come out looking good. It's a little spacey.. intentionally, for affect. And when Neelyn's girl goes missing, things start to get hairy. People on both sides.. the outsiders and the locals try to figure out how Junior (Brandon Sklenar) is involved. The subplot here is that Will (Nick Braun) wants his girl to quit her job so he can take care of her, but she's not having it. And then it gets silly.. when the company tries to tell Will who he can date, he fights back. Fans turning slowly... what the hell ? In lieu of a good script, write weirdness, and lots of violence. I kind of lost respect for the story here. It could have been a good murder mystery. But not so good. Written and directed by Scott Wiper. And Paul Tarantino.

I must admit when i saw the casting i was expecting at least some great moments of acting between the Trio Mac Dowell, Pearlman and Jones and i'm sorry to say i didn't have that.... This movie is bad from the core : the script is poorly written, there's is no good dialogue so no good acting moment possible between protagonists. Lots of useless scenes. The editing is lazy. The music choice is lame most of the time (all the time!). I watched it to the end hoping for something good happen to save it a little bit but it didn't come.... Very disappointing and very Boring... i put 3 stars for the 3 stars in it....

I was initially interested in this because of an article about it being filmed in the area of Morehead, KY. Malcolm McDowell's son was so bored spending time in Morehead that he requested to go home rather than spend another night walking around in the local Walmart. I don't blame him.

I started out watching out of morbid B movie curiosity, but eventually warmed up to the story. I've known guys like "Junior" IRL and in many movies. Immediately upon meeting Junior, I knew this movie version would probably be getting his comeuppance in the end. However, I didn't know how everyone else's story would play out. There were a lot of small stories being woven into the picture and those are what kept me around. I don't feel it was time wasted.

I think this is my first review. I only wrote it because I thought some of the others were much too harsh.
