Street Warrior (2008)
I just want to shoot myself..
First of all, i usually read the comments and check the ratings on IMDb before i even approve of watching a movie (unless it's a new, independent or recommended movie).
This however was a gambler because there was a few comments out and all said positive things. The things mentioned in the comments were pretty juvenile described but one thing sticked in my mind, and that was concerning the fight- scenes and i love good fight scenes!, someone mentioned Jet-Li and another entertaining movie so i thought, let's stay open minded.
OK folks, here we go: the fight scenes is worse than a Mma fight that runs submissively only = boring. The music during the whole movie made me feel suicidal, some corny rock/heavy metal theme that destroyed even the slightest try of creating an atmosphere. The acting was as poor as the whole plot.
Im sorry i don't have anything positive to say except that Valerie Cruz was kinda hot but not as hot as to justify killing the time of watching this mess of a flick.
Id give it a 0/10 if i could.
In with Thieves (2008)
Seems like i've seen it all before...
I found a few nice actor talents, but nothing that holds the story throughout the entire picture, it's an independent movie alright but the story is so unoriginal that it becomes embarrassing watching sometimes. I understand that the director-writer-producer Sid Kali is a bald young-as filmmaker that hopes to create a some kind of new genre or urban style but i feel it lacks originality, it's so common it doesn't fit the screen, it needs to be seen in reality, i think a live theater play could work if you have the right age and background to back it up, if not, it's just not interesting. I could compare it to watch a school project, if you don't know the person that created the movie (and think that person is interesting) it just not gonna fly...Neva Eva... Maybe i was a little hard on Sid when i gave a 1 of 10 but i felt cheated of my spare time giving the film a go because the overall rating was so high. I just hope no other people gets cheated or misled like i did on the rating..
Turistas (2006)
Tasty atmosphere/Tasteless preparation
To begin with this movie which i rented recently was utterly a waste of my time, i should have red the comments on IMDb first but i was recommended to watch it by some friends...big mistake... The movie has it's beautiful moments nature-wise but the pore acting and low standard on storytelling just kept me wanna kill myself slowly with a scalpel. As many other comments indicate its true that the female actors are picked more for there looks than there ability of acting. To make a long comment short Turistas ends up in the bottom 10. If you still just happen to see this dreadful movie keep your expectations on a trivial level and maybe you'll survive the first thirty minutes, Good luck.
