The Butcher, The Chef, and The Swordsman


THE BUTCHER, THE CHEF, AND THE SWORDSMAN (2010) - Sept. 18, 2010
Quite literally one of the worst films I've ever seen, this was a horifically bad film about...  I don't know, a chef out for revenge?  It kind of had a few different stories -- all terrible.  Featuring awful, unfunny humour so broad and silly that even a five-year-old would find it juvenile and beneath him, this was not merely unfunny -- it was  gratingly, in-your-face, cringe-inducingly unfunny.  It doesn't help that this was billed as a martial arts action film and features (maybe) five minutes total of sloppy, awkward action.  It also didn't help that there wasn't a single likable character in the bunch (and at least a couple of characters who were so infuriatingly annoying that I had the overwhelming urge to punch someone in the face -- preferably the director, the actors, or TIFF programmer Colin Geddes for subjecting me to this garbage).  I honestly cannot think of a single thing I liked about this mess.  SO TERRIBLE.  ZERO STARS
