Every Batista Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

16. Bushwick

Bushwick - I'm calling it now - could actually have been brilliant with a slightly different edit and a thorough retune of the script. Its sociopolitical subtext and the performances it generates are great, but it ruins itself by falling into the trap of just being a big dumbshooter in parts.

I mean, just read this premise...

Texas is attempting to secede from the Union, and militia forces have descended upon New York City to claim it as an East Coast base of operations and negotiation tool. Faced with a flurry of whizzing bullets and total destruction around every corner, Lucy takes shelter in the basement of Stupe (Dave Bautista), a burly war veteran who reluctantly helps her traverse the treacherous five-block stretch of Bushwhack to reach her destination--assuming it's still there.

How was that not good?!?!
