Boopi H corny, unbelievable actioner with not great acting but i loved it. these folks have got to be die hard Tarantino fans as this production smacked of his delightful offerings. those were some dumb as nails thugs. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Audience Member They sure know how to pick 'em Director Usher Morgan tells a thriller about messing with the wrong queen A young woman played by Elyse Pryce who owns a family bar is targeted by a short-tempered mobster But that turns out to be a mistake when she starts striking back This mobster has no idea what's in store for him and his crew What does it mean what makes people do what they do; that's the root of human psychology A desire to gain pleasure as a need to avoid pain This movie goes on a little longer than it should; the plot should've been different Some of the stylized filters are a bit overblown You'd think this would take place entirely in the bar because this feels very uneven with some jumpy editing Pryce gives a very visceral performance however I just thought this was alright Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Another film that I wasn't too keen to watch, as my first thought was "Mmmm....low budget Tarantino". Well, maybe we should remember that Tarantino doesn't "own" this style of movie, and I do feel that the whole story was handled well. It must have been, I've just watched it again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was agonizing to watch, I held for 25 minutes and had to vacate but based on the editing and effects I could see it was poorly done. The move was as if the director made a group of short clips and edited them together. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member it could have been quite a little gem with a little less scmaltz from Usher Morgan. He needs to watch some really good films and drop his mimicry. This effort was a clear rip off of Elmore Leonard's Justfied down to using Dixie Mafia and Michigan in it. If you are going to rip someone off, may as well be the best so that was actually a positive. The issues come in with the lame attempt to copy Frank Millers Sin City graphic novel style at times. Usher isn't sophiscated enought to pull this off (or he was lazy-take your pick). The 3 dames? Really? Usher you were really pretty close but you cheesed this up with that stuff. The two bit mobsters who can only say do you know who I am repeatedly was clever, the first ten time but it did get kind of tiresoem along with the worst acting in the movie. What saved this was Elyse Price who, given some better material might actually show us something. Her brother character's wardrobe may have been the silliest part of the whole movie sae for the silk scarf our mob guy wore. Usher, if you had stole more Elmore, lost the Miller and didn't writie like Uwe Boll on Prozacl and had hired villians who can act you would have had a real movie that would have been 20 times better than this and I actually watched this and didn't hate it despite those major flaws. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This was such a corny movie...i don't know where to start- the ridiculous coyboy hat brother who looked like he was from a different era; the awful mother letting her children hang out in a tacky bar- including her teenage daughter and young kids. Then they live in this mansion..wot the heck. Particularly loved when the whole family were at the bar-young girl all alone cashing up at 1am- hasn't locked the bar so the thugs just walk in. The children all witness the subsequent massacre. Much later the young son is awake in his bed and his mother- dressed like a prostitute - says its getting late you better get to sleep. Late? it must have been around 4am! haha. Trash. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
