CARTEL 2045

Putting a direct to video grindhouse-esque movie up for review is a bit of a conundrum because you know what you are getting into when you press play, and it’s not going to be “good” per se. But what happens when the movie is so bad that it undercuts even your meager expectations for it? Where is the line between camp and crap? How do you determine what’s so-bad-it’s-good and what is just so-bad? Was it all intentionally bad or is this just a terrible movie? What is the meaning of life? Why are we all here? Cartel 2045 answers none of these questions. It’s just bad.
