SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Original language: English Distributor: Atlantic Released: 17 September 2013 Reviewed by:Jann Kalf Larsen Belvis Bash (Lex Lvovsky) is a rock musician who dresses like Johnny Cash and performs with Elvis Presley's music. But his career is not running exactly on track. So when Gen. Hickory (Mark Metcalf) from the U.S. military offers Belvis to take to Afghanistan to play his music, he strikes. Good enough salary is nothing to boast of, but he expects to be able to perform for the U.S. troops in the country and thus boost his career. In Afghanistan must Belvis, however, note that he instead should be a small part of a larger, American cultural events in the war-torn country. The idea is that Americans with music, theater and humor to win the local Afghans hearts .journey to Afghanistan does have a windfall gain . For he meets namely childhood in May Summer (Noel Britton), which helps major Hickory to stack the shows on the legs. The two resumes fast friendship from school years.Belvis learn to turn quickly to the cultural effort not far successful or accepted, among the Afghan population. On the contrary, the performances seem to have the opposite effect.Disapproval of the ensemble due in no small stand-up comedian Samuel Stilman (Corey Feldman). Stilman seems neither to own situational awareness or respect for others, and uses his performances to offend the Afghans and their religion at the coarsest. Some Afghan extremists quickly get enough of Stilman and kidnaps him. As Stilman at the time, along with Belvis and May, they also abducted . Instead of executing the Americans, they are held as hostages , while the kidnappers are trying to get ransom to finance a continuing struggle against the imperialists. It succeeds, however, the odd trio to escape. trio flees on camel and donkey in the desert - with the Afghan fanatics in heels.But during the escape must Belvis true that there has been a deeper meaning with Style Mans madness ... There is absolutely nothing politically correct about Zero Dark Dirty . Far from it, which is very unusual for an American film. There is racism and religionsfornærmelser in a steady stream of large parts of the film.But when you just come over almost automatically cringe, you will see that it is not such a bad thing. ForZero Dark Dirty sheep namely facing serious issues such as xenophobia , prejudice and religious fanaticism by exhibiting it at the very worst way. The American self-importance gets himself a tremendous blow. First half of the film represents not really too good as Zero Dark Dirty here most of all seems like a poor excuse to fire a strip plate and condescending jokes of. Tilgengæld liven things up tremendously in the last half. It is as if the team behind decides to go " all in ". Not only discover suddenly that there is indeed a story , but also that it is a reasonably good story. You have also seen the actors unfold and give themselves fully . And it leaves a good impression. Particularly Corey Feldman in the role of the mildly infuriating Samuel Stilman that has a hidden agenda , is very convincing. But Mark Metcalf in the role of Major makes a good figure.Zero Dark Dirty holds in many ways it all.There is love and war . Faith and betrayal.fanaticism and apathy . And then dry the film take a step back and look inward, which definitely pulls up in my report. film is by no means what it purports . Although it is a comedy, there are plenty of earnest and deep thoughts entangled in humor. It is a difficult balancing act , but apart from a long, hard start, succeed actually really good.And it's more than liberating to Zero Dark Dirty going very far, never to be politically correct .

Belvis Bash, a sort of failed Johnny Cash/Elvis type as the name implies has an opportunity to make a difference. To go on a trip to... Afghanistan. If he could just figure out what fourteen hundred hours meant, everything would be looking good. The film really takes a turn when he arrives, and we see worlds clash. It is here that Lex Lovovsky as Bash first shows us that we will sympathize with him as much as we will laugh. He plays the genuine innocence that makes a fish out of water story like this work. The film is every much a coming of age story for the 40ish Bash, as it is a black commentary on the military and our current state of affairs. Recognizeable faces like Corey Feldman, The Iron Shiek and Daniel Baldwin make this fun on another level as well, and the former particularly nails his role as a comedian who's the only one to dig his jokes. Mark Metcalf is also notable as the scene stealing military chief who supervises Bash's mission. Also Noel Britton who is refreshingly charming on screen as Bash's long time friend. You'll love the most awkward production of not quite Les Miserables, the touching moments (largely from Britton), and the journey Bash and his misfits go on (which may or may not involve camels).

Given the title I thought this was going to be a straight up parody - and I am actually very happy it wasn't. It's really hard to describe this movie. Basically it was really funny and well put together. The story was all over the place at times, but I was satisfied with it when it ended.Corey Feldman was actually really funny. I didn't know what to expect. The Iron Sheik is hilarious too. I liked all the cast - there were no bad actors in the cast. Lex Lvovsky is good as the Elvis guy, and he did a good job as a writer director. I hope he gets a chance to make more crazy movies like this - it was really very original.

I bought this film from the cheap shelf at the store, and actually thought I had bought Zero Dark Thirty, surprised that it was so cheap already! Even the cover, not only the title, is very much alike the Academy Award winning picture. And it's not the cover shown her, but one really like Thirty. Retrospectively I could find this title almost pornographic, but it aims at an alternative version of the greatest American achievement in their war history. The title of this review is a connection of to quotes from the film.But then this is a comedy on a very low budget. I was really fooled. I had never heard about this, but nevertheless had to see it. And, if you wonder, it's quit funny, but could probably use with a sharper manuscript.The second part of this film is much funnier than the first half, so don't give up. Production value is very good to be such a low budget movie.Belvis Bash is of course a B-artist, which name is playing on both Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, but his real name is Walter, is invited, to say it mildly, to Afghanistan to play. Belvis is played by Lex Lvovsky, which is both director and writer of his. Usually no good combination. The actors at doing great, Corey Feldman is a high point acting as a comedian.The film is playing with prejudice, bad taste, cultural differences and Americanism, and really has it's moments. It's no laugh out loud film. But it's difficult to satisfy audience with this, and making a whole feature instead of some jokes are almost impossible to succeed with.The funniest part of the movie is a discussion about Islam and Jewism after 45 minutes, which really is good. It's killed off with a ballad which is not meant to be funny. After 58 minutes we have another high point. From there and out the film is way funnier than the start. The "car chase" which camel is fabulous.This is fa better than the average American comedy.
