Bad Hombres: Böse Jungs

Bad Hombres, directed by John Stalberg Jr., is a film that aims to highlight the struggles of illegal immigrants in the Deep South. The plot centers around Felix (Diego Tinoco), who has crossed the border illegally and is trying to find his footing in a new environment with the help of his cousin. They spend their days searching for cash-paying odd jobs.

Stalberg teamed up with Rex New and Nick Turner to create the story, while New and Turner wrote the screenplay. Their previous collaborations contribute to a unified vision for the film. Chris Hemsworth shines as the foul-mouthed Donnie, fully embracing the wildness of his role. Meanwhile, Jane delivers a strong performance as the jaded Rob, providing some hilarious moments alongside Alfonso and Felix.

The cinematography does a great job of showcasing the area's isolation and emptiness, reflecting Felix's personal battles. Stalberg uses creative framing and angles to enhance the tension in various scenes. However, despite these strong aspects, Bad Hombres doesn't quite come together as a memorable or rewatchable film. As the plot veers into absurdity, it picks up speed, resulting in a somewhat entertaining movie that ultimately doesn't reach its full potential.
