Why is Bucket hat guy not a main character?

My friend bought a 10 horror movie box set and this was on it. I don't know who mixed the audio, but it is a crime against humanity. Why does it seem like every single line is ADR?!

There's a scene where Finn tries to sexually assault a busty woman. He's unsuccessful as discount Matthew McConnaughey busts in and saves her. After Finn leaves though, it gets weird when he says "I saved ya darlin. Why don't ya repay me by loosening a couple of those buttons." This scene had me confused and conflicted. It threw into question who the hero really is.

Just a side note: there's an implication that Finn is a nazi fighting for the Arian race. Kind of a weird choice by the writer to make this part of his character.

I never learned the name of the bucket hat guy, but-yo, that guy's pretty based.

At one point a girl is crying about a relative who died and this is supposed to be a tense emotional moment. It completely fails at this. The acting is so poor, it plays as comic relief.

Yamaguchi's dead body is shown during a funeral service and it is tough to watch these scenes as I really liked Yamaguchi. It became even more brutal when I realized the actor, Garret T. Sato, was no longer with us. Rest In Peace Mr. Sato. You were gone too soon.

This movie took a move out of the 'lake fear' playbook by turning off the lights for the third act. Wow...great idea...I didn't want to see anything anyway.

I have no idea what they were going for with this one...maybe horror, but it plays as an action comedy. I really don't like this movie, I wish I could rate this a zero. But it does include a Mexican Stand-off, so...6/10.

MAY NAME IS DAVID. WHAT'S YOURS.

There is a chemical released to create mutants, then they are nuked, but there is no real signs of that. A group of survivors are hunkered together when the "new guy" shows up. In this case it is Shinji (Andre McCoy) a quiet special ops type who wears his sunglasses at night. There is some poorly developed drama within the group made worse because the acting was bad. Perhaps the worse in the group is Kat (Isabella Marie Brown-Quigley) who believes everyone hates her because she is just 18, and not because of her acting.

The script gives out information and then brings it together in the most boring way possible. Most of the film was done in a warehouse. We do get a long lecture on how rat poison works. The mutants are walking dead, but are killed by normal methods.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

It was just bad. All around bad. Bad acting is what killed it. Wasn't entertaining because it felt like they were reading off a script the hole time.

Freeze and zoom baby

Instant classic. Filled with epic fight scenes and mind blowing plot twists, this movie had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The final fight scene was filled with some of the most brilliant shots I've seen in years.

My only issue with the movie is that the audio was just terrible. Half of the time I couldn't hear what was being said, and the other half I spent having my eardrums blown out by random sound effects. It was also a little distasteful when one of the characters used Whitney Houston as an insult. Whitney Houston is one of the greatest people of our generation.

Overall, this movie was very enjoyable to watch and I would highly recommend for a classic horror movie.
