Ron Perlman is The Baker – Movie Review

, , , , , , , , , , , , 10

After three Taken films starring an aging Liam Neeson and Stallone leading the charge through an Expendables franchise that’s keeping senior citizen butt-kickers on life support, you might think that the day of the grizzled, weathered action hero has run its course. I’m here to tell you that if The Baker is any indication, there’s still plenty of room for grumpy grandpas to lay the smack down on screen without the premise ever feeling old. Recently I’ve been hearing a lot from Ron Perlman in animated movies such as Heroes of The Golden Mask and his role as Optimus Primal in the CGI/live action adventure of Transformers: Rise of The Beasts (speaking of series that are long in the tooth). But these vocal performances simply don’t have the same impact as seeing one of the most unique and expressive actors of the last 40 years strut his stuff for the camera.

If you’re looking for a bloody revenge thriller with a message, Hunt Club from Director Elizabeth Blake-Thomas delivers on the “Me Too” murder mayhem with a grindhouse throwback edge. Upon hearing the title “Hunt Club” I was under the impression that this film would be equivalent to a lower budget version of 2020’s The Hunt in the style of The Asylum’s catalog of productions.

When asked what it’s like to die halfway through the film’s run time, the titular Joan responds, “it’s not peaceful, it’s painful”, and this sentiment couldn’t be more apt for the experience of watching Killing Joan. This supernatural, mob revenge film from writer/director Todd Bartoo is available this April and sure to hit you like a punch to the gut. If the success of Black Panther is any indication, comic book movies are here to stay and while Killing Joan is not an adaptation of any known graphic novel, it definitely has a super hero edge to it. It’s got an origin story, mysterious powers and your standard organized crime boss to bring down in order to protect the innocent. But does Killing Joan break new ground or just a few clavicles? Let’s find out. Here’s the plot: When tough as nails female mob enforcer, Joan is murdered by a jealous member of her gang that wants her spot in the boss’ pocket, she’s resurrected with mystic abilities that allow
