REVIEWS

01 - Mid 90s Neo Noir

I came across this movie as an imported VHS tape and because of the interesting cast I had to check it out. It has the look and feel of a classic film noir with a cameo from Mark Ruffalo as a sleazy public defender. Traci Lords is chilling as the crack-addicted gun moll/femme fatale. An undiscovered, low budget gem.

02 - Another one of those...

Talk about one of those waste-of-your-time movies. I saw this movie on its cinemax debut and christ! If any movie can manage to put together a poorly written, badly acted, terrible action sequences with a flimsy plot, this could be the shiner. I just wasted almost an hour and a half of my time just to see if this movie ever picks up. Well the worse thing is, I watched it with very little expectation of it. However, they could've done something to make it a bit appealing to the audience.
