Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Seth_Rogue_One This is part of a trilogy (of sorts) the other 2 films are THE CORRUPT and URBAN MENACE.Originally meant as one movie with different story lines coming together the movie-company decided that they'd rather turn them into 3 movies and make 3 times the profit from the DVD/VHS-sales but with the same budget.All 3 movies were shot simultaniously in the course of 18 days (6 days per movie) with the same settings (with the exceptions of a couple scenes here and there) with the same crew, cast (except the rappers) etc even the same Ice-T soundtrack (his album 7th Deadly Sin) continuniously playing throughout.And they often had to have the few Americans playing multiple characters within the same movie, because the extras that were hired couldn't speak a word of English (the movie is film in Brataslava).One thing that happened is that AIR France lost a box of footage that they filmed which included footage from all 3 movies, because they would film scenes from different movies back to back to save time etc.So that obviously messed up the movies a little bit, luckily they had b- footage for most lost scenes they could use instead but I wonder what actually happened to that footage and if the movies would have turned out better with it (I imagine so).Another thing you will notice when you watch this is the lack of Snoop Dogg.On the director's commentary Albert Pyun openly admits that the only reason they decided to put Snoop into the movie was so that they could put him on the cover and have his fans pay for a Snoop Dogg-movie even tho he never had any part in the making of this movie.Confused?Well Snoop Dogg was in URBAN MENACE of the trilogy, so they take a scene from that movie + interview footage with Snoop and via text they convey the idea that Snoop plays a gangster called Dra-Man and they edit it together to make it look like he was killed in the beginning of the movie.So Snoop doesn't actually act in this movie, he didn't even know he was gonna be in it til I guess the movie company told him they wanted to attach his name to the movie and gave him a nickle for it.Now to the actual movie:I can't say it's a good movie, I actually somewhat enjoy URBAN MENACE and THE CORRUPT even tho they are very uneven.This one is far more even, but also more monotonous but it flows a lot better than the other 2, so I can understand why this one has the highest rating of the 2 if not just for that.The story is nothing to write home about, it's 3 gangs in a abandoned factory killing off each other, sort of a poor man's MEAN GUNS also a Ice-T and Albert Pyun vehicle.But there's still something about it I can enjoy a little, maybe it's the knowing the background and having heard the commentary tracks for all 3 movies that can make me appreciate them a little more. Cause honestly I didn't like Wrecking Crew the first time I saw it much but now okay I can't say I like it per se but I can somewhat appreciate it for what it is.
rylojr1977 (PS - this an IRONIC review)I found this in the bargain bucket of a Liverpool city centre store, and couldn't resist spending a measly quid on it.There is no discernible plot to it, The "acting" is laughable and the relentlessly epileptic editing style is straight out of an 80's "Yo MTV Raps" programme.Yet.......Watch it with a group of "inebriated" friends and you will be blown away......The monologues are way better than anything Tarantino has penned (check the QUOTES section) and the level of awfulness on display is awesome!!!It's the kind of film that most people will use as a place-mat on their coffee table, which the director and cast would probably take as a compliment!!As unintentional comedies go, this takes some topping........It'll be interesting many years from now to see whether Snoop & Ice-T leave this one one their respective film CV's...........
scrawford-12 God-awful piece of direct to video tripe that was originally planned to be one third of a long movie but was eventually split into 3 equally Tricia's parts (Thank whoever you will for that decision). Albert Pyun, perhaps best know for Van Damme's 80's cyborgs-kicking-the-hell-outta'-each-other-in-a-wasteland sci-fi classic, helms this piece of muddled 'cinema'. The plot revolves around a whole bunch of bad ass gangsta's in a warehouse somewhere, spouting guff about who owns what turf, who killed who and yadda-yadda-yadda. Then Ice T shows up with his amigos and chaos ensues. I can't really go into too much more depth because, well, that's about as deep as the 65 minute running time allows us to get in I'm afraid. Shot on DV with a 50 cent budget over what looks like a weekend, one can't help but wonder who bank rolls crap like this. Avoid like the plague.
CipherCode From the terrible acting to the wanna-be "stylish" filming style, this movie sucked! I have seen all of Ice-T's movies, and overall it is hit or miss, this movie shouldn't even be called a movie. It was more like a long, boring rap video with no plot.
