Watch All Hell Broke Loose For Free

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Blistering performances.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The worst movie I have ever seen, of any genre. The dialogue was awful, the acting was awful, and much of it did not make sense. Will Drake, the civil war sniper reputed to be able to hit a man from 1000 yards away, was hired by the owner of a bank to help protect his bank from a gang operating in the area. Will took his rifle out to practice. He set a coffee pot on a stump about 10 yards away and could not hit the thing. When he held the rifle on the target, the muzzle end was swaying all around just before he fired. He is a sniper?!?The bank owner said he would be situated a long way from the bank, and picking off bank robbers from a distance. He had sought out Will Drake specifically because he was a skilled long range shooter (supposedly). But Will set up his rifle in a hotel room right across the street from the bank. When it came time to shoot, he missed the first 5 times he fired, FROM ACROSS THE STREET!Even David Carradine's performance in this movie was bad, WAY below the level of acting he delivered in his other work. The conversations between characters is very hard to watch and listen to. It seems that they filmed one guy speaking his line, then filmed another guy speaking his line, and so on. Later they tried to piece it all together. It is disjointed. The delivery of the lines was awful also. There are some poorly made films which are nonetheless fun to watch: Plan 9 From Outer Space is one. But this film is just bad. If you have not seen it, don't.

David Carradine may have appeared in many Classic "B" movies that were enjoyable to watch. A four time nominee for the Golden Globe Award he had to be completely broke to have joined up with Christopher "B flop" Forbes. What a shame after all the good work he did over the years to fizzle out in a wreck of a film.This is the bottom of the barrel of movie making. no.. better yet, kick the barrel aside a dig underneath is where this high school style acting, ketchup splattering gun shot movie rests.Christopher "B flop" Forbes wishes he had the talent and style of Ed Wood yet this film proves he is a close runner up to Larry Buchanan (one of the worst filmmakers of all time). "All Hell Broke Loose" was boring and tedious, containing some of the most uninspired acting I've ever seen. It lacks entertainment value despite the fact that a competent director could have probably done a good job with the material. It's a sad fact of life though that directors like Christopher "B flop" Forbes are a necessary evil. If there weren't people doing it wrong, then how would you know who was doing it right?I think I will go watch a Kill Bill flick to get the taste of this movie out of my head. RIP Mr David "Jack" Carradine

I'll give this a little bit of credit for not being stupid and not being obnoxious, but a film has to have something to offer other than not being stupid or obnoxious to make it worth watching.I wanted this movie to succeed but the writers seemed to have forgotten one of the first rules of writing a script. Unlike a book that takes place primarily in the character's head, a movie is a story told primarily in pictures.In other words, All Hell Broke Loose has too much talk and not enough action or interesting visuals.The performances of David Carradine and lead actor Jim Hilton are decent, but that's about all this has going for it.What's really and truly sad is that this amateurish production is Carradine's last western appearance, pitiful considering his enjoyable past work in "Kung Fu" and The Long Riders.

Weak shot on video western feels more like dress up then a real film. The plot has a sharpshooter going west to get away from his past and ending up in with some of the wrong sort of people. David Carradine wanders through as a marshal trying to keep the peace. Set in California but filmed in South Carolina, or so the small amount of the audio commentary on the DVD lead me to believe this is a film where nothing seems real or right. The locations seem most of the buildings seem like they don't belong in the west at the time. The clothing is too perfect and of the wrong era west. The action seems staged and at half speed. Its the sort of thing you might see on stage or at a wild west show. Its made worse by the lack of excitement on the technical end (the shots seem to to have been put together in long languid takes that make nothing seem like its in a hurry even when it should be. The result is a dull unexciting film that only those who must see every western ever made will want to bother with.
