TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

dantonstl very low budget film, not done as awesome as freaky deaky, definitely a little more realistic and performs like a HEATHERS. I have ten lines to put into this review, and recreating this film would be great. Paris is an awful actress and not too super hot in this film. The men are typical suburban white guys with anger issues and retribution plus payback throughout this film, its a regular vocabulary for pot heads and young adults, its a common emotion suppressed yet played out violently well in this film. I have yet to see BRICK, but I would compare this to a scanner darkly a little bit also. I will be looking forward to adding brick on my watchlist as I did the lazarus project. for some reason I haven't kept infatuated with some other films and they seemed to have dissappeard off my watchlist too.

Anders Twetman One thing I find to be very confusing about The Hillz is the choice of main characters. The introduction scene shows them harassing a store owner, and generally acting like jerks to more or less everyone around them. For a moment I thought this was a brilliant move on the part of the director, to portray these thugs in an honest way without turning them into heart-of-gold anti heroes. Turns out however, that these were supposed to be our protagonists, the guys we were supposed to root for, the director was simply unable to make them look even the least bit sympathetic. Another strange thing about this movie is how violent it is, how casually it deals with violence, and how little consequence there is to said violence. thug leader Duff goes around arbitrarily shooting people for no reason, without so much as a hint of emotion, and the police are nowhere to be scene. It could be a reflection on our society's blasé attitude to violence, but it is more likely he was just not able to portray violence in any serious way. When you get down to it, The Hillz is just a badly acted portrayal of a bunch of deeply unsympathetic characters (that goes for both protagonists and antagonists alike) engaging in some light-hearted random violence. How that is not more exciting is a mystery to me.

xyzanduknome The Hillz is a great movie! not a movie to watch with your family but a movie to sit back and watch with friends. Even though the swearing is a little too much it shows what gang life really is. It showed me what life is really like in a gang and how much drugs can take over your life. Also, The Hillz showed me that not all gang members are bad. they may be total jerks but once you get to know them they are nice. Like how T feels really bad about the death of Seb and is actually sensitive instead of the jerk he is around other people. This movie isn't just a movie about a gang its a movie about love, which can attract attention to female viewers. The love connection between Heather Smith and Steve 5 was a nail biter! I know i was wanting them to be together from the start because it would change Steve a lot. I recommend this movie to anybody within reason. It teaches a lot about gangs and is in all a great movie.

its_peenut I would have to say that the "Hillz" wasn't that bad as I was expecting I was on a full face of ya-yo but still the movie wasn't that bad, yea the acting was pretty terrible but the only main shining light was Duffy, yes he was very over dramatic, but still he was the only thing that saved this movie from being a complete bomb, the only thing that i didn't enjoy was just that every f'ing white boy from the suburbs carried a gun, are u kidding me, I'm from the suburbs and i don't carry a gun, nor do i shot anything that moves, still though it wasn't that bad not as good as havoc which i actually enjoyed, trust me i am a movie lover, but i mean honestly the movie wasn't that bad, drink a little drank and do a little drug, and waste some time with your friends and u won't be that disappointed, peace one love. -Wolford
