Takers take. No doubt, eh? The action theme this week is reunited brothers doing dastardly deeds done downtown; this time in a heist flick a la Italian job styling, although the gangs are the Russians vs the celebrated reuniting of Boyz from the Hood with some unsuspected cop activity thrown in and voila, its an action flick that moves right along with a couple surprise twists.
| Must be seen on big screen? | No advantage seeing this on a big huge screen if money’s tight this pay period, wait it out. Better plot than Expendables though. | good casting collection of African American actors. Didn’t notice if this was a Spike Lee production Story overall gave me my action flick adrenaline fix |
| wait for DVD or rental? | everybody just wastes everybody eventually and you might like to rewind to see who does who how, where, more slowly | plot has at least one twist some will say they expected but I think many will be surprised |
| OK for your elementary school child? | totally shocked at how many parents couldn’t get a babysitter & had dragged along their young, young kids to see this tonight. NO, not for mine! | extended graphic violence throughout |
| OK for your child 14 or under? | Pass. | not even a trace of a role model for youngsters in this movie! |
| OK for Family movie night? | If willing to tolerate a pretty violent theme, OK | R rated, mostly for extended scenes of graphic violence |
| Comments | Found it ironic that Matt Dillon was cast as the lead cop | an acerbic Samuel Jackson hunting down the bad guys would’ve been a more wise choice IMO |
