Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
chalker1 within about 5 minutes in to the film the first fight scene i was watching i just could help but pointout the lack of tension in the scene the cameras crossing back and forth really shows he had no idea what he was doing, well actually the soundtrack shows that the best. i no its a low budget film and your not going to get top 40 songs but at least get music that goes with the scene that isn't actually that hard acting, well if i saw any i would gladly let you know. the script was so badly written would now surprise me one bit of the guy directing wrote this piece of beep, i will give the person one 10/10 and that was for the DVD cover because if i actually saw "before watching this" in a shop and it was like 10 15 bucks i would have bought it, why well if you look at the front cover this actually well done you flip over to the back and you see that it has actually won awards. now that is a very misleading thing because even in a small film festival i wouldn't ever believe in my life that this would win anything all i can say is "wow if this was the best i wouldn't want to know what the crap in the film festival was like"films that are this bad only have one good use and that is for a aspiring film maker to use as inspiration films like this are better tools then good films, because with good film you almost know off the bat there is a good chance you wont make a film that good, but if you use a film like this you can look at all the things they director or writer did wrong so you wont make the same mistakes, and you have the added plus of looking at this film and saying if a piece of beep like this can get made then there is hope of anyone out there
child_of_the_jago This film proves a theory I have had for quite some time - in Australia, as long as a film deals with the right topic, it will be a success regardless of how terrible it is. Aussie Park Boyz could not possibly be any worse - the acting is beyond terrible, the plot is basically a poor Warriors knock-off, and the filmmakers clearly have no idea about ethnic gangs in Australia (an Irish gang in twenty-first century Sydney! The last time any Irish gangs were in Australia was about a hundred years ago in the time of the tinkers!) But because it's about ethnic rivalry, one of four topics guaranteed to be a success in Australian cinema (along with struggling families, minority groups, and the biography of a famous Australian) it won multiple academy awards. I've always suspected that Australian critics will lap up any rubbish that deals with these issues, but part of me thought, or at least hoped, that they had their limits. This film proves otherwise. So to all you Australian aspiring film-makers out there, don't bother putting thought into your film or choosing people who can actually act, or even getting your facts right - just write a script about some poor family trying to make ends meet, or someone of a foreign race coming to Australia and having to deal with racial prejudice and stereotypes, or, if you want to take a leaf out of these people's book, some ethnic gang fighting some other ethnic gang that isn't actually plausible in the period the film is set, and your film will win five academy awards regardless of how pathetic it is!
Worldofgrim this is like a 3 ccd digital cam, use available lighting, overcome audio problems with minimal dialogue and lots of techno. it has an odd pacing but if you love seeing fights, well done, and with gang characters then why not? yah it has 'The Warriors' feel, but so what, it's a classic storyline. Anyone hear of Jason & the Argonauts? and it's not gay. amateur yes, but not gay.it was a joy to see a bunch of machismo street ruffians all fighting each other. there was a unique rock'em'sock'em style to it, less flashy then overly done Chinese wire operas or the latest martial arts wire, digital double, trainer double celebrity. it had a real gritty, real compelling pain factor feel to it.i hope they get to do more, quite frankly. i watch a ton of action, b-monster, c-monster dvds and i base my comparisons to that and this has a fresh feel to it. even if it uses a tried and true story (what a crime), and what we all love to see... fighting. raw... unedited... not flashy... nice...
Gerard Aguilar OK, Yes at first this movie seemed to move along really slow and mellow dramatic. You have to get past the first 20 minutes and then this movie takes you for a ride. If you are into action-fighting movies and you can appreciate the art of a movie no matter what the budget constraints were or are, Then give this movie a chance. This movie has nothing but skillful fighters/actors. I am watching it again tonight. Nunzio La Bianca, the guy who plays Cam is one of the best fighters I have seen in a long while. He is a guy with a big hart and know his physical limits. This movie is like a fighting instruction video. This is one of those movies that it's best advertisement is word-of-mouth.
