But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren't doing anything about it. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
It's often difficult to tell what's bad on purpose or just badly handled. The cargo shorts and fanny pack? Purposely funny. The slack pacing? Probably not.
-
Christian Toto, Big Hollywood
Bad Ass won't be confused with 'Death Wish' or even 'Gran Torino,' but it's superior to Trejo's recent dud 'Machete'
-
Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
What started as internet shock value turned into a joke, and that joke has been flattened into a humor-impaired bore in Bad Ass.
-
Michelle Orange, Movieline
It's the casual tone that makes all the difference, but it can't quite carry the movie.
