The Good, the Bad, and the Not So Bad

About This Movie

So, 'The Good, the Bad, and the Not So Bad' from 1987 is this interesting little gem you don’t see talked about much. The premise is kind of quirky—you're following this prisoner who gets to visit his wife, but he’s stuck with a rather unlikable prison guard. The film has this weird blend of dark humor and an almost slice-of-life vibe that gives it a unique rhythm. Nothing flashy in the effects department, but the performances are surprisingly engaging. It feels like a low-budget affair but in a charming way, almost grassroots. You can tell the actors are really giving it their all, bringing some much-needed depth to their characters amidst the absurdity of the situation.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, with a few VHS copies floating around, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. It’s not the most sought-after title, but it certainly piques interest due to its offbeat premise and the curiosity surrounding its unknown director. It’s one of those films that might not have hit mainstream success, but it has its own niche appeal among collectors who appreciate the quirky and the unconventional.
