Film Frenzy

A moderately engrossing drama whose greatest strength is its stars.

High on Films

While there are numerous leaps of logic throughout this crime saga, I’d still recommend you to check the film out because Yerby feels like a promising voice who could do better with a bigger budget at hand.

Action Reloaded

Willa Holland has terrific screen presence – she was always the best thing about the Arrow TV show – and she’s on magnificent form here

Written and directed by Matthew Yerby. The Dirty South is about the trap of the South, and the strength of certain women who have the ability to take the reins of a game that has them buried, and somehow survive the attempt. [Full Review in Spanish]

Used to trust Rotten tomatoes for honest ratings, last few things I have Watched based on the ratings and the first few reviews tells me they are paying for good ratings . As for this film, very poor acting, dialogue and script, I would stay clear. As for Rotten Tomatoes we’ll time to use another more honest review site, any recommendations welcome.

One of those films where you have plenty of interesting characters being smushed together in a short run time that you would be better off having a tv series instead to give justice to the characters and its story.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
