VANish (2015)

Delightfully off-key. You rarely knew whether you should have been happy or whether you should have been sad at the end of nearly every scene. The story was weird, in a cool way, told at a good tempo, and engagingly acted, believable enough. The 'gore' presentations kinda echoed the contrapuntal style of the story telling. And I liked the characters. All well beyond the clichés of most box office films over even the not-too-distant past. I enjoyed watching it. (Probably No. 1 over other recent releases.) But all that is just me. You well may have a different take.

well i am fan of Danny Trejo Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn, Dead in Tombstone, a lot more i love with his movies. reason i watched this movie i love R Rated bloody, shooting, chopping, lots of swearing, Mexican style cartels witch i really like my type of movies there was not much to say and watch again for second time because the movie didn't do much i love gore but trouble is i know Danny trejo is not main character for movie i like him as villain but i just didn't like characters and camera what they filmed looked terrible the way it's shot plot is easy made like director is out of ideas what's to write quick story OK i like quick story i have no problem with it but this movie has noting to do with Taken or Gunman films.story follows is that girl named Emma (Maiara Walsh)was girl got kidnapped and forced to go at a road trip similar story like from dusk till dawn when George Conney taken family as hostage to go to Mexico but in this film you have 3 guys jack (Austin Abke), Max (Bryan Bockbrader), Shane (Adam Guthrie)were driving to met Carlos (Danny Trejo) was cartel was her father. in very half way of movie it's all about 3 guys and 1 girl in van driving like million miles these 3 characters were just idiots specially 3rd guy Shane when he had plan to escape Emma to find shotgun, then Max find out later about plan Shane kills him and leaves him the scene was very graphic scene i have ever saw very well made for low budget with blood with good work on it. thing is Shane turned against Emma because Shane has a blackout there was scene when Emma blows Shane head with double barrel shotgun to his head witch had very great action it and dialog when Shane said i got Axe Emma I GOT SHOTGUN BANG ! ending shooting scene was noting to it i thought another characters were boring specially jack was just jerk first of all he turned into bad guy to good guy ? come on i wish that was Danny trejo no problem with him as villain but him as good would not be that bad just way it ended like noting 4.10 noting special good gore bloody weren't that much CGI it is very low budget movie. there is Alternate Ending of movie i am not sure of on blu raythere was a lot of gore high impact violence i love it that way it had less impact violence the movie didn't had much of action it had more of crime, thriller type of thing when you don't have much Action in movie. Danny trejo doesn't show up like almost to end of movie just shots sub machine gun at end movie went for 98 minutes long that's it i expect more then that for main role for trejo apart using him as villain i thought main actress Maiara Walsh wasn't too bad but i expect someone else Mexican actress i had no problem with actress and Danny trejo doesn't appear from ending of movie witch is just poor made for him to be in mostly for 1 hour of movie it's 3 idiots and Emma is hostage OK but eh this movie is noting special 4.10

A young woman is kidnapped by three guys who demand money to her dad in order to free her.The movie is bad but at the same time entertains and it's fun to watch if you don't take it serious and enjoy the ride. The situations, dialogs, the plot all are ridiculous. There are some graphic kills in it, but in rest is kinda humorous even the battle between Shane and Emma will keep you smile for the whole time. Still there is not much to say about this, is short only 75 minutes, almost the entire movie takes place in a van, what can I say, it could be the perfect movie for gore fans. Yes, and the ending was kinda dry, I actually liked the songs in the credits more then the film.

OK first lets get one thing out of the way. Tony Todd (Candy Man fame) has like 4 mins of screen time and Danny Trejo has like 5 mins out of the total 1 hour 13 mins of runtime. the rest of the cast is somewhat unknown or sidekicks from other movies.Girl is kidnapped by three morons and from there on forward nothing makes sense. The way they kidnap her, the reason they kidnap her and the whole VAN trip is without any substance. Some blood is there but no impact like which you find in Quentin Tarantino movies. The end fight is like it was choreographed for a school project. If you are looking for a movie like this which is actually good then please watch "The Baytown Outlaws" as i can recommended that any day.Seriously just avoid this and find something else to watch cause in the end you will definitely feel like you have just wasted your money and a significant amount of time.
