      Audience Member nteed nap in the middle of it!!!!! While I did not pay for a movie ticket for this film I had felt like I had just wasted 8 dollars at the AMC Cinema. The movie "Ghettoblaster" was completely predictable and had stereotyped any type of "drug dealing gang banger" in its rightful terms. The plot I can't even describe to you in full because I don't even know how or where the story and the plot ever really takes place. The characters as much as you want to like them don't even become likable. They are just there. Bruce Willis could have starred as the lead hero character while Nicholas Cage or any or devious villain could have been the head of the drug lord boss in this movie and they still would not have been able to keep my attention. The long of the short of it, instead of even spending a dollar on this film go out and spend time with friends family and loved ones. This abomination of a film needs to be kept in a vault and not be seen by the likes of anyones eyes ever again. I am sure the director of this film did the best he could, and the actors and actresses put forth their best efforts but the entire script should have been looked over more carefully before even being put into production. My buddy bought 200 plus films for 50 dollars and this I can honestly say is one of the movies that came upon the arrival of his purchase. "Ghettoblaster" is toast in this man's mind. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A must see for those interested by 80's hood movies with nonexistent budgets. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Travis Lane returns home to find Latino gang The Hammers now rule his old neighborhood. Police are helpless so Lane fights back on his own after thugs kill his father. Richard Hatch is underrated. I was upset the gang killed Mr. Twist the tabby. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Nam vet and expert in 'urban extraction' returns home and is not greeted by the Welcome Wagon. A case of urban decay since the Hammers street gang set up shop. Good film, I thought Hatch should have got his family out of there once the stakes started rising but alls well that ends well. Richard Jaeckel is largely wasted as the police chief, although he does take credit for eliminating the gang element in the hood.
