Ok, I'll be honest, the main reason I watched this movie is because I saw Keanu Reeves was in it. However, Reeves has plays a very small role and only occupies about 10 minutes of this movie. I'm also a big fan of post-apocalyptic films, but this is no mad max. The movie starts off well with an intensely engaging introduction, however, the first ten minutes is the only excitement you'll enjoy for the rest of this snooze fest. I really didn't see the point to this movie. It was grossly under developed and only left you with wanting so much more.

"The Bad Batch" heavily borrows elements from "Mad Max" but without concluding to anything really, having a slow narrative with minimum dialogue.The film takes place in an post-apocalyptic desert wasteland and follows a young woman captured by cannibals who chop off her right arm and leg and plan to eat her piece by piece. She eventually escapes the cruelty of those creatures, led by Jason Momoa, and wander off into the desert. There really isn't any plot or main story, the protagonist treks the empty barren land until she meets various strangers, like a helpful but crazy hermit, played questionably by Jim Carrey, who's current real-life state of affair could probably be transposed into the character with ease. Keanu Reeves also plays a strange person called the Dream, the cult leader of a settlement.
With more depth to the characters and back-story, I think this film could have turned out nicely, while adding maybe another side-story to it.The film's soundtrack was definitely odd, from Ace of Base to Die Antwoord to strange rave music. I was confused on what feelings to assess by connecting the scenes with the music."The Bad Batch" is definitely one of those bizarre and offbeat independent movies that fall under the radar. I wouldn't say it was a good or bad movie and it wouldn't be on the top of my head when recommending post-apocalyptic movies, but "The Bad Batch" had some interesting parts that I probably won't forget for some time.

Arlen (Suki Waterhouse) is placed into a land of misfits behind a fence any Mexican could get through. The desert area is divided up and Arlen ends up in a city of cannibals which costs her an arm and a leg before she manages to escape on a dolly and picked up by a guy pushing a shopping cart through the sand with ease. She ends up in a town run by Keanu Reeves where everyone smokes pot and does acid.The film was not the Mad Max action film I was expecting. It was far more drama and I am still not sure of the whole point of the film or the ending. She found her dream? That's weak. Keanu Reeves had a small but important role. Suki Waterhouse was the star of the film. Jason Momoa grunted most of his lines. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

A love story set in a community of cannibals in a future dystopia. In a desert wasteland in Texas, a muscled cannibal breaks one important rule: don't play with your food. The Bad Batch suffers from a terrible script, miscasted actors in roles that don't suit them and above all a forgettable main character that i didn't like one bit. There's no action, no dialogue and above all nothing happens except Momoa talking weird and drawing Jim Carrey, a dog has sex with another dog and Reeves looks like Pablo Escobar. Overall this might be one of the worst films ever been made or even released in general. (0/10)
