Featured review
When it comes to kicking Deadite ass, Bruce Campbell is still your man.
30 years after the events of "The Evil Dead", Ash (Bruce Campbell reclaims his most famous role in high style) is now ageing and pathetic. When not picking up ladies at the bar, he still works as a stock boy.
But all these years later, Evil has again found Ash. It turns out that the damn Necronomicon Ex Mortis has remained in his possession, and he and a lady friend foolishly recited passages from the book while stoned.
Ash is reluctant to return to the role of hero. At first, he would rather turn tail and get the Hell out of Dodge. But you can never keep Ash down for long.
After four feature films, the franchise begun by Campbell's friend Sam Raimi certainly has had some real longevity. This debut episode isn't always terribly funny, but it does its job at setting up this universe and the people living in it. The other characters introduced are Pablo Simon Bolivar (Ray Santiago), an immigrant from Honduras and co-worker obviously destined to be the sidekick, another co-worker named Kelly Maxwell (the sexy Dana DeLorenzo), whom Ash unsuccessfully tries to hit on, Amanda Fisher (Jill Marie Jones), a state trooper who will want to avenge the death of her partner, and a mystery woman named Ruby Knowby (played by Xena herself, Lucy Lawless), who seems to know the score right from the start.
Fortunately, 'El Jefe' does bear the trademarks of "Evil Dead" goodness, namely the manic energy and the wild camera moves designed to portray the "force" bearing down on victims. The only thing that traditionalists may find truly objectionable is the use of much CGI violence.
But, overall, this was good at bringing back Campbell & Ash for a new generation & audience.
Seven out of 10.
