Review of Guido

Guido (2011)
7/10
Ultra violent ... over the top ... dark comedy .........
3 September 2013
Hit-man Alki David, in an exceptional performance as Guido, agrees to drive his dying landlady, Lupe Ontiveros, to California while delivering a dead body in the trunk of his Cadillac limo. On their trail is ruthless killer Billy Zane, and detective Armand Assante. Along the way various assassins, clued to their whereabouts by a tracking device hidden on the Caddy, are disposed of by the ever resourceful Guido. There are a couple of Albanians in Beverly Hills running a child prostitution ring, and Gary Busey appears briefly as their East Coast connection. The plot is somewhat obscured by moments of violence, such as death by power sander, and the "black comedy" which is present throughout. One inter cut scene in a cathedral is not to be missed. As the landlady is giving a confession to a priest, Guido is beating a bad guy to death in a church pew. This is low budget film making at it's best, and recommended viewing for those who seek obscure movie surprises. - MERK
