2.0 out of 5 stars An example of too many friends (cooks) spoiling the broth, February 4, 2005

By	Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

BULLFIGHTER dates back to 2000 and the reason it never was noticed (if it even ever appeared) in the theaters is that it is simply a bad movie. Director Rune Bendixen has attempted to make a film that employs south of the border 'magical realism' with spaghetti westerns and has obviously captured the attention of fine filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Guillermo del Toro as he has cast them in very minor roles. To top it off he somehow convinced a cast of very fine actors to become involved - Olivier Martinez, Michelle Forbes, Donnie Wahlberg, Michael Parks, Willem Dafoe, Jared Harris, etc - but to no avail.

Giving the benefit of some positive comments, Bendixen does stage some sequences having to do with spiritual channeling that take on some nice photographic elements, and....well, it stops there. The editing is choppy at best, the dialogue is not understandable (which is probably a blessing), and the story is so inconsequential that it is next to impossible to stick it out to the end. This seems like Bendixen gathered some good friends together and talked them into a project that would propel him into the ring of edgy filmmakers. It just fizzled. Grady Harp, February 2005

1.0 out of 5 stars This is truly awful..., January 28, 2005

By	S. Kelly "dkelly26666" (Gainesville, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not kidding you, this is an absolutely awful film. I'm a huge Dafoe fan, and bought it because he's in it. (He's only in it for about two minutes.) This has got to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. No wonder it sat on the shelf for five years. It should have NEVER been released!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars 'BULLFIGHTER'...WHY!?!, November 27, 2007

By	Von Ningue (USA) - See all my reviews

When I heard about this film, and read about the awesome talent that was working on the project, I thought to myself, "Gee, this sounds like a really good idea! You have a sweet cast with actors like Olivier Martinez and Michelle Forbes, cameos by writer/director Robert Rodriguez and Guillermo Del Toro, and a villain played by none other than Michael Parks! How can you go wrong with an all-star cast like this?" The answer: Have an inexperienced newcomer like Rune Bendixen make your movie! This is a perfect example why anybody with a camera and a script can make a movie, and gives anybody who's ever wanted to make one the uptmost confidence that even you can do a better job. Thanks Rune!
