TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

So in Recent years ever since Rodriguez and Taratino's Grindhouse flicks came out, we've had a slew of poor imitators coming out of the woodwork. Cherry Bomb isn't really all that different or the one thing that makes it stand out, is it's one of the freaking worst of the genre to come out.First we have Cherry- late night stripper who is assaulted one night(thankfully it's more implied than shown) she's released from the hospital and immediately has plans for an upcoming murder/revenge spree. Instead of the character reflection, anger, humiliation, she just acts like a spoiled brat. I don't think I've ever disliked a character as much as her in any movie I've watched. Then there's the brother who really doesn't add too much- just helps reluctantly to off her assailants. the only other character of note is the hit man. a poor ripoff of Samuel L form Pulp fiction- rides around whilst wearing a suit and bad Fro wig, adds nothing to the filmYes it's supposed to look like a cheap grindhouse movie, but it has no polish at all, horrible production value. I mean I've seen decent flicks on a shoestring budget, but this turd has really missed it's mark.In short don't waste your time with this Bomb. stick to Hobo w Shotgun, Deathproof, or Planet Terror. Hell watch Troll 2 instead too.

These other reviews have to be cast and crew. Though I appreciate their efforts, this flick sucked. This actually could have been decent if they wanted. I sensed the director wasn't taking this seriously, thus the campiness, but yet, at times, it seems to want to be taken seriously. That never works. Oh well! If your bored you might make it through. As of this writing Im currently at the 53:27 mark in the movie. Had to write something on this flick. Now,debating(real hard)on whether to finish.P.S. - I hate Texas. The worst backdrop for filmed entertainment!!!

I can never understand the people who ask if they can have the wasted xx- time out of their lives that it took them to watch a particular movie back....until now.I'm really trying hard to find something positive to say about this film but I honestly can't find anything at all. The plot is excruciatingly transparent, the acting is universally appalling, the writing is an insult to the audience and the whole thing truly is a waste of time and money. The positive reviewers are either members of the crew or people whose reviews a normal viewer needs to watch out for because they will serve as a beacon of what to avoid. I hate to be so negative but this is an experience for hardened masochists only, I'm afraid.

Cherry Bomb is a great Revenge/Action movie. As with most great movies it starts with a fine story that grabs your attention from the very beginning and never lets up. Julin is excellent as the stripper Cherry and John Rodriguez is outstanding as Brandon her brother and co-conspirator in revenge. Kudos also go to the performances of Nick Manning as Cherry's boss, Ian and to Allen Hackley as the menacing "Bull".Add to this a great job of directing and terrific music that totally compliments the movie without overpowering it and you have a super film. All in all I found it to be an exciting movie with a very satisfying ending. Terrific acting by everyone and a nice twist to the story at the end. A great job by the entire cast and crew!
