The problem with reviewing a movie called "Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives" is that you're required to admit publicly that you have actually watched a movie called "Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives." That's the kind of damning tidbit that could be stumbled upon and misinterpreted by some future background-checker — a potential employer, for instance, or a vetting body for Nobel Prize nominees. Not to mention the personal implications. My mother could read this review, for gosh sakes.

Anyway, this film, written — not much effort there — and directed by Israel Luna, calls itself an exploitation thriller and seeks to parody bad horror films, bad blaxploitation films, bad martial-arts films, maybe even bad baseball films (a baseball bat being just as important to the story as the knives of the title). It's difficult to judge something that's trying to mock something inept; is its own ineptness sheer genius or just ineptness?
