Reviews
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
thebogofeternalstench Don't know which Muppets wrote the good reviews for this crap film, obviously people involved in the making of it.Baby is utterly $hit.The main actor can't act to save his life and overacts everything. When he gets all 'serious' like "whats up punk!?" it was so laughable.The only redeeming feature of this film is the music. There were so many cliché scene in this film. It is a very weak film.Terribly acted, scripted and directed.Take no notice of the hype on the font of the DVD.Give Baby a miss as it will sorely disappoint and bore you.
stevesvoice Crime, violence, drug abuse. Nothing new there. Asian youth? Sure, every ethnicity has its 'thuggery' - wannabe or otherwise. Can an individual be a product of his environment? No doubt. Moral ambiguity, conflicted hero/anti-hero, now that is a story to be told and "Baby" does that well. David Huynh's portrayal of Baby has me rooting for him at the same time I question his choices. Strong performance. Loved Feodor Chin's Benny. Still a coward as the greasy warlord. Excellent villain in the mold of pre-Eastwood Zachary Scott. Ken Choi, the tragic Mike, he's been there before. Pops (Tzi Ma) and Baby (David Huynh), an entire story on its own. Exciting photography! The scenes riding in cars were brilliant and inspired. A graphic technique I would have liked to see applied throughout. Juwan Chung's style seems to have real vision. Check it out.
dluu81 i rented it from blockbuster recently and i was very impressed with what juwan did with this movie. i was expecting below average cinematography and a movie id turn off after halfway through - as i did with even Hollywood movies such as hit-man, shoot em up, hellboy 2 - but it was good enough to keep me watching. i liked the style and brashness of it and the story. i did have some complaints though how the story was a bit too chaotic to follow sometimes, the sound wasn't as clean in some scenes, the lead girl wasn't pretty. but that didn't ruin it. i really liked the acting by the benny and baby characters and the dad as well. the movie reminded me of a good old hong kong triad flick and it even had a classic song by alan tam in it that i loved as a kid. really cool. so i recommend this flick. support indie-Asian-good cinema!
Richard Ve Juwan Chung's "Baby" captures the crime, violence and drug abuse involved with Asian street gangs. David Huynh does a great job playing the role of "Baby" a motherless, poverty stricken teen who encounters a world of danger while roaming the streets of Monterey Park and Alhambra. Baby has been long overdue ! GREAT MOVIE! "We live 4 our brothers without them we're nothing"! You mess with one you mess with the rest is a good way to describe this movie.The cast gives an outstanding performance that brings the movie to life! This is one one of my favorite movies of all time "Baby" is the Asian Boyz in the Hood. An action packed movie not to be missed!
