Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
killerkandykorn I'm gonna sum this up so you can easily decide if you want to watch it1st Cinematography is bad. Sometimes it looks like a home movie. But it doesn't destroy the movie2nd Story is crap. This woman goes on a revenge killing spree because of what happened to her sister. But its so poorly put in that it just doesn't seem to fit, and you just don't feel the emotion. The story tries to twist at the end I guess but it fails.3rd The ending is just stupid.4th This is whats good. Well... there are a couple of ass shots. There is some tension between the characters of the gangs which pretty much holds the movie together. The action sequences are pretty good.The thing is, it's a movie you can enjoy, but you aren't going to completely enjoy it in the end, and your not going to want to watch it again.
lastliberal Raina (Stana Katic - "Castle", Quantum of Solace)is out for revenge. She takes it in the opening on a former lover (Tom Berenger), who manages to survive only, as he jokes, because of his lifestyle - a big belly! He puts Beck (Paul Sloan) on her tail, but she is hard to catch as she pops up all over the city like Jason, slashing her way through various bad guys, even Tom Sizemore, who imagines himself a player after leaving a group of Nazis who sell crack to teen girls before turning them out.At the same time, we are seeing Amanda Brooks really do a dance on some others. She & her boyfriend Lee (Michael Biehn - Aliens, The Terminator) have an interesting way of removing tats; some massive gunfights, and lots more deaths.A good slasher/gangster film.
slshusker So,I skipped out of the office early today and fired up Showitme.Wham, the first movie I ran into was just starting. STILETTO. The cast is filled with names and faces you'll immediately recognize. Hey, that makes the movie worth investing a bit of time to begin with.Plot, who cares to begin with. The movie is dark and dreary with Mob affiliation and peeps getting whacked immediately. Watch it alone with a strong drink or six and in the evening.Some may say the cast is beyond Over-The-Hill and Has-Beens. Tom Berringer as a Greek is a bit of a stretch; Stana Katic(Canadian) is great as the psycho-chick assassin, bent on revenge and killing anyone(males mostly), related to her anger and pain. Whatever.The plot is about revenge...blah-blah-blah! I'd watch her cut vegetables. She can be/was seen on ABC's Castle. If you like hot brunettes, this is for you, plot be damned!I watch a movie to be entertained and escape reality for a couple hours.The cast of retro/comfortable characters let me do just that. Think Terminator, Platoon, etc.There's not social lecture, just revenge, blood and advice. I'm only 45 minutes into the movie and I've already sent an email to a slimy acquaintance that can get ANY movie on DVD while it's still in the theater. The acquaintance loved Stiletto too! Preliminary audiences didn't, obviously. And now, back to the movie and another scotch, with Stana of course.
Jay Harris First of all,There have been many worse films than this. I did not expect this to be a film to remember, so I was not disappointed.Years back the studios made this type of film to be shown as the lower half of a double bill, with a 69 minute running time. This film is a fast 99 minutes. It is very violent & bloody, what would you expect with the title. STILETTO.Truthfully, the main reason I saw this was because of the star Tom Berenger. 20-30 years ago he was a HUNK.(Looking for Mr Goodbar & Platoon were just 2 of his real good films). He is (of course) much older& plays the nasty,mean crime boss, Tom is still good and does hold your interest. The rest of the acting & production values are only fair.I am not even going to mention the leading lady by name.She is pretty & kills most of the cast,I doubt if she make many films.If you remember Tom Berenger,& like them very bloody,profane and violent see it.Ratings: ** (out of 4)52 points (out of 100) IMDb 4 (out of 10)
