4.0 out of 5 stars“I told my boys, you just rob banks and stay out of trouble.”
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 11 Oct. 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Always one to spot an oncoming trend and milk it dry, the surprise success of the reissue of Bonnie and Clyde after its mediocre US opening clearly inspired Roger Corman to start his own cycle of Depression-era backwoods gangster movies aimed at the drive-in market with 1970’s Bloody Mama after finding its script in a pile of unproduced properties American International asked him to look at. Like many of the subsequent films in the genre that he produced and directed it’s got a strong sense of the social injustice that partially explains the sociopathic mentality of its family that slays together, but, unlike their fictional characters, his depiction of Ma Barker and her boys never glamorises or makes excuses for them. Ma may have been raped as a child by her own father and brothers but that’s the last time you’ll feel sorry for her as she raises a brood of psychopaths, murderers and drug addicts who’ll kill for her (and, it’s implied, sleep with her when she’s feeling lonesome). She doesn’t mind them raping a girl or breaking her arms as long as she’s their social equal and thinks nothing of killing people even if she’s got close to them if they’re not kin. She doesn’t even have any time for her husband because, as she tells him, he may be a decent man but he’s also a born loser. Not that she doesn’t raise her boys right: she makes sure they always put something in the collection plate because “If God got His, He’d see to it that we got ours.”

Like a wholly immoral Mama Rose from Gypsy with a Tommy gun, Winters was probably obvious casting, having played Ma Parker in the Batman TV series, but it’s probably her last credible big screen role before she descended into complete OTT self-parody.Read more ›

HASH(0x83739c9c) out of 5 stars You had to be there, and now you can. 27 Feb. 2016
By Paige Turner - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
I've thought of Ma Barker and her boys periodically since its original release and feel lucky to see it available again.
First off you get Shelley Winters, several good character actors, and a few, like DeNiro and Dern who became famous later.

Second, the movie is socially still decades ahead of our CSI SVU, with Robert Walden as a masochist, cellmate Bruce Dern as his sadistic top, and incest implied between Ma and the boys. Not pretty topics but here presented as motivations rather than sensationalism.

Third, it never falls into camp as, for instance, "Baby Jane" does, nor does it invite mockery, being a couple notches above the drive-in fare it could've been, because its rambunctious mayhem is a product of the freedom accorded to movies back then, before studio greed crushed creativity under the timid formula of its blockbusters. Consider that the plot actually casts stories for each of the boys, instead of relying on serial CGI thrill bonding. It's as worth watching as "Bonnie and Clyde," even though less artistic, if only to enjoy what movies were when audiences valued originality and the intoxication of possibility over bombast and familiarity.

Don't get me wrong. I love "Guardians of the Galaxy" and expect to enjoy "Deadpool," but the occasional burger is delicious after a conveyor belt of raw steak.

HASH(0x83739cf0) out of 5 stars Shame on Shelley 14 Aug. 2015
By Geoffrey7 - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Save your money. The best part of "Bloody Mama" was the movie poster. Shelley Winters gave some brilliant performances...but this is not one of them. This film was shot on a shoestring budget. The vintage cars and chase scenes are fine. However, there is no coherent script. Robert DeNiro shines in his role as the dope addict son. Shelley hams it up shamelessly as Ma Barker. The Academy should have asked for one of her Oscars back after this fiasco. Shelley did a series of 3 cheapo films for American International "Whatever Happened to Helen", "Bloody Mama" and "Who Slew Auntie Roo" in the early 1970's.That body of work should have gotten her expelled from "The Actor's Studio". She is heavy in this picture. However, three years later, in The Poisiden Adventure" she will be big enough to sink an ocean liner all by herself. As Ma Barker Shelley wears about 5 ratty looking wigs from blonde to auburn, short to long, and back again with no explanation. Shelley also wears about two pairs of false eyelashes as Ma. Save your money or just rent or borrow this loser.

HASH(0x83aae540) out of 5 stars PRETTY BOY FLOYD 16 Mar. 2015
By BOB SMITH - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is why they stopped making gangster movies! BLOODY MAMA is a fair retelling of the infamous Ma Baker and her boys also known
to history as the BLOODY BARKERS. But I also grew up watching AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES--Worth watching if your a historian--my personal favorites abouth the bank robbers on the 1930s: PRETTY BOY FLOYD, A BULLET FOR PRETTY BOY, THE STORY OF PRETTY BOY FLOYD and DILLINGER WITH WARREN OATES or get the Gat (The Thompson).
