'Blunt Force Trauma' (2015) - Ken Sanzel.

Dishy Ryan Kwanten stars alongside the deliciously feisty Freida Pinto, and a, er, not quite so aesthetic, Mickey Rourke, playing modern-day outlaw duellists in stylish director Ken Sanzel's quirky, boisterously doolally, gun-crazy, refried, post-modern western. The South America-set, 'Blunt Force Trauma' is one zesty, lean n' mean gun show, which at its very best is a giddy, hyper-real mash-up of Ridley Scott's 'Duellists' channelling the Sex Pistols after imbibing one, or ten Mescals too many! This truly is one of the wackiest, blissfully unconventional iterations of a gun-happy actioner I have had the pleasure of viewing recently, and while far from perfect, 'Blunt Force Trauma's' absurd premise did frequently thwart one's ability to suspend disbelief, but when it worked, holy gun smoke it worked!!! And it certainly made for one righteously rollicking, gung-ho, road-burning, sexy, six-shooting rodeo!

Especially credible are the gunpowder-gutsy performances of our delectable, gun-crossed lovers, and I definitely got some super-heavy, geek lord-pleasing, Alex Cox vibes from this bullet-batso, Burrito-spicy B-movie, so if you favour a decidedly off-beat, artisan approach to your 'taciturn outlaw dude meets his equally ballistic, gun-toting beau, while bloodily duelling their way to Mickey Rourke's picturesque hillside hideaway for an existential showdown' gun-fest, then this bullet-bruised, Teflon vest-shredding, serial-squinting spectacle might just hit the blood-red bull's-eye! And FYI, said trauma is NOT the deleterious effect, acting maestro, Mickey Rourke's fright-wig has upon the audience's sensibilities! Hey! Don't get me wrong, I love the goofy acting genius, and he'll always be the 'Motorcycle Boy' to me, but come on, big guy, lose the sketchy syrup, as yonder, 'Elton John/ Spider Baby fright-mare  rug' 'ain't a good look for a dude!

'You'd so do me wicked if it weren't for the fubar rug!'

'I know Tarantino is into feet, but I 'aint, could ya' just put the cheese sticks away, Pinto!'

'I still can't believe I didn't get the goddamn pirates movie!'

'There's still quite a sizable demographic that could go big for this gun-chest-butchness!'

'This is kinda' the make up or break up bit, so, what's it gonna be, Spacek?'

'I never look at 'em, I just kill 'em using my sense of smell'
