Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
yoshilegend-97535 It's great, cause alycat!Btw Willow is a great name.
adonis98-743-186503 Three women outsmart unsavory men who try to cheat them out of their take in an almost-botched casino heist. Bad Acting, Bad Characters and poor filmmaking ruin "Beyond the City Limits" and from the first scene of the film we know what kind of movie we're getting and it's not good. (0/10)
Claudio Carvalho The Russians smalltime crooks Sergei Akotia (Brian McCardie) and Yuri (Alexis Denisof) plan to hold up two million dollars from a casino with the inside information of the security guard Troy (Steve Harris) and the support of two dirty cops. When the two cops are killed, they decide to call off the heist and they kick out their girlfriends Misha (Nastassja Kinski) and Lexi (Alison Hannigan). Misha and Lexi meet an old friend of Misha, Helena Toretti (Jennifer Esposito), who is in a divorce process with the bored and upset detective Jack (Todd Field). The trio plots revenge against the guys and decide to rob the casino with Troy. But the plan turns upside-down with unpredictable events.When I saw the names of Alison Hannigan (from Buffy), Alexis Denisof (from Angel) and the gorgeous Nastassja Kinski and Jennifer Esposito in the cast of this movie, I decided to ignore the bad reviews and IMDb Rating and watch it. Unfortunately, the reviews are right and this movie is really bad, with a messy screenplay and awful conclusion. The story is very confused, with a terrible direction that is not able to make a funny, or dramatic, or violent movie. There are some ridiculous parts, like for example when the two "Russians" argue in English with a weird accent. If they are Russians, wouldn't they speak in their native language while alone? The character of Alison Hannigan, Lexi, is awfully developed and never clear of her objectives and feelings. Brian McCardie looks like a cartoon with his character (or caricature?). I tried to find good and positive points in this movie, but with such unpleasant end with the fate of Misha it is impossible to like it. I have never read anything about this director, Gigi Gaston, but he was able to waste a good cast and I had a really bad experience watching this confused flick. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Além dos Limites" ("Beyond the Limits")
wolfgar1 As far as I'm concerned, this movie has one good thing about it, and that is, of course, Alyson Hannigan. Her performance was great. I think she should consider doing more different style roles than the her typical Willow/Michelle roles. The rest of the movie, however, is pretty bland. It progresses rather slowly. The editing wasn't properly done, there were parts of the movie where the sound didn't sync with the video. The plot is nothing new. The acting was good at some parts and really bad at others. And alot of the time it was difficult to see where the movie was going, at least until the heist at the end.Bottom line, worth at least one viewing for Alyson fans to see her as something other than Willow or Michelle, but otherwise you might be happier with something else.
