Tazia R @RT97236534 10/02/2024 Even though the movie itself wasn't great, Vyto Ruginis was a stunner. He's so hot See more 06/10/2024 This was really good. It was emotional and intense. Ended abruptly though. See more 04/01/2013 This is one of my favorite movies. Delta Burke was awesome in this movie. Ryan went over board, but still a good movie. All I can say is, he lucky he didn't have a ghetto black mother... See more 11/01/2012 Scary story about a mom who fears her son's rage. See more 10/28/2012 I'm using this as a place holder for the movie Dangerous Men by director John Rad... yes John RAD. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the music (all created by John RAD), the editing (by John RAD) which featured background noise everytime someone talked or the action (just RAD)which can't be explained by words. Go see this movie, but be sure you are in the mood for cheese. 2008 Movies: 157 See more 03/21/2010 It's so hard to be a mother. See more Read all reviews
