Audience Member Hell's Kitchen, gosh, where does one begin. This movie was phenomenal and an absolute masterpiece of cinema for it's time. The English language, simply put, doesn't have words to meet the high caliber level of description this movie would require to describe it properly. Only by seeing it for yourself would you then be able to understand this movie's beauty. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The performances carry the right emotion and the music assists in making the drama feel that much more real. Unfortunately, the writing has its weak points and doesn't allow for any explanation. For my full review of Hell's Kitchen (1998), check it out on this IMDB link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0129136/reviews-21 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Hell's Kitchen isn't much of a film and falls apart rather quickly. The story is garbage and goes off in several different directions at once. Additionally, the acting is remarkably poor; except for Angelina Jolie, who tries to rescue the film, but the script is working against her. Some of the plot threats are interesting, but overall the story's incredibly incoherent. Bogged down with a bad script and poor directing, Hell's Kitchen winds up being a monotonous film without any focus. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member With the exception of a solid performance from jolie,only reason why I got this film it was because I'm an angelina jolie fan.there is absolutely nothing to like about this movie its depressing and slow-moving and really has no redeeming qualities,to bad because Angelina Jolie gives a good performance,so because of her I gave this movie a C-.otherwise for the movie I would of just gave it a D-. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member With the exception of a solid performance from Angelina Jolie, there is absolutely nothing to like about this movie. It's depressing, slow-moving, and really has no redeeming qualities. Too bad, because Jolie is great, but she's not enough to carry the rest of it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member HORRIBLE! WTH WAS JOLIE THINKING?! EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS JUST HORRIBLE! THIS WAS BAD FOR MEKHI EVEN!! WTF!!
