Review of Guido

Guido (2011)
9/10
A classic old school action romp
2 October 2013
An ex Iraqi hit men gets tricked into driving his terminal Landlady to the west coast and wait he has a body in his in trunk. A simple premise that gives way to a fun, entertaining low budget action romp. The thing I liked best about this film is that it had fun with the source material. So many modern action movies take themselves so seriously, trying to be cool with their anti-hero leads and ridiculous special effects. Guido reminded me of the classic Arnold action movies. Over the top violent, but not afraid to have fun and exploit some darkly comic moments. In addition to a great performance by lead actor Alki David the film features, fun performances from Billy Zane, and the king of 80s excess Gary Busey. Great film if you want to relax, turn off your brain and have a good time!
