About Boulder

What I really like is when the Venn diagram aligns, when solid genre entertainment on one side and slice-of-life drama on the other meet in the middle. What I really like is interesting crime films like The Scrapper.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Kang does a good job and has certainly written and directed a movie which takes characters that most audiences may not consider for this kind of film.

Good action, tense plot, and good performances make this a noteworthy low-budget thriller.

The bad guys in this movie make the list as the most laughable characters in a movie in some time. Poor production, disastrous casting, and a slow moving storyline makes this one overrated fiasco.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Fresh to see other than Mexican, South American or even Chinese immigrate drama; seems like everyone struggling to survive in the Big Apple Dreams. Plot nothing new here, same old same old...
