Audience Member So, I was bored--a prerequisite for watching most of the programming on Chiller network--and this movie was on. I am a horror junkie and can typically tolerate camp and cheese at a level most human beings would find fatally toxic. This "film," however, was just all sorts of worthless. The film attempts to promote some kind of feminist message that women can take care of themselves in situations involving multiple male adversaries, but only if they do so in a constant state of midriff and cleavage exposure. Nothing especially noteworthy about that, but what is even more grating to the sensibilities of any brain-having person would be the fact that the filmmakers attempted to spice things up with not just 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but around 5 different antagonists tied in together loosely or not at all. Oh, and how could I forget the iphoto effect bizarrely used on each victim's face right before they die. To properly illustrate just how pathetic a film this is, I actually found myself thinking "Jeremy London deserves better than this." I love axe wielding murderers as much as the next person, but this is just more evidence that a sharp object and a criminally insane killer alone does not a decent b-movie make. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Dreadful piece of garbage horror film. Just an ultra low budget slasher movie. A complete waste of time. AKA: Greed. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie represents an outstanding example of movie making. The cuban girl's rack was luscious and keeps the viewer glued to the screen at every scene. The blond chick was simply gorgeous. Extreme care was taken in the motorcycle chase scenes, and the 2 chicks did not switch the XR200 for an XR250 at some point. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Greed (Ron Wolotzky, 2006) In the early nineties, Ron Wolotzky was pretty big news in Hollywood as one of the principals on the popular HBO series Dream On. After that, he pretty much fell off the face of the earth until Greed (also released as Axe), his 2006 feature film debut. If you were expecting comedy, or envelope-pushing for that matter, you will be sorely disappointed in this generic survival thriller. Plot: two women, who through the magic of movies are unbelieveably hot despite having just been on a week-long rock climbing trip, have the bad luck to stop in a small desert town where there is some sort of big con going down-and immediately get pulled in as pawns, scapegoats, or any other role, depending on what side is doing the talking at the time. All of which sounds pretty exciting (and can be done very well onscreen, viz. Stone's U-Turn), but... isn't. Let's be blunt, while Wolotzky was a pretty decent TV director, there is a mountain of difference between directing for the small screen and directing for the big. You can't really fault Wolotzky for not knowing this, despite the number of people who fail at it on their first try. (Hollywood only remembers its successes. When was the last time someone mentioned Ishtar in the state of California?) But still, he might have been able to make a half-decent movie out of this, baby-fresh-after-a-week-in-the-mountains actresses and all, had he not been working from a woefully mishandled script by Dred Ross and Eyal Sher (both working on their first fiction feature), which has all the tension and unpredictability of the story your overly-exited six-year-old tells you after the first soccer game where he actually scored a goal. In other words, unless three drop-dead-gorgeous actresses (soap queens Darlena Tejeiro and Andrea Bogart, plus Fiona Loewi as the town doctor) are your sole criterion for what makes a movie watchable, you'll want to avoid this one. * 1/2 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It would have been a decent film if it had just been about the girls, the bikers and the money. But to add in an axe wielding serial killer was just too much. The killer ended up being convenient for the girls, which takes out any scare factor that could have been in the film.
