Wrong Side of Town

Moviecut—Wrong Side of Town

Hey,,, it's fun to watch,,, it's a Van Dam vehicle, and he is credible. Dave Bautista elevates this movie at least three notches,, and Stormy Daniels is a nice touch. Puzzling, now that Stormy has been in two main stream movies, but, she doesn't yet have her own page. Wondering why that is. A glaring omission by IMDb,, or just an oversight that has not been caught. Dunno. Traci Lords made the switch and it was a good decision. Stormy waited a bit too long, but still has a chance. Dunno. Guessing Bruce Willis turned this script down, in favor of Death Wish, but,, Van Dam is a likable guy~!~!

How could you give this movie one star? The dialogue is very silly and the acting is goofball central, but you can't say the plot doesn't make any sense: the original 80s version called 'The Warriors' is widely considered a classic. This movie is goofy, but it's way more fun than it should be and the two WWE stars detract from the story only to the same degree The Rock used to when he was busting skulls. Van Damme's younger brother (in name only) is a bonafied action star, and I hope he continues to make movies. For seekers of unintentional comedy this is a gem. Find it and give it a shot. For low-budget action aficionados this will be a great addition as it has an independent feel with an above average production value. For people who only watch Eisenstein films ... well, you probably won't be on this page anyways. Happy viewing! Rating: 22/40

Where to start? The acting was HORRIBLE. You will not believe how bad it is.. You will most likely laugh your ass off on just the ridiculous WTF moments and cheesy lines.. Rob Van Dam is not a very good actor at all, his voice isn't that great for movies either.. The fight scenes were pretty awful too.. For the best actor of the movie, that would have to go to Batista. To the worst acting would have to be Seth, his two bodyguards, and the worst goes to RVD's daughter. It could of been much better if they would of had a decent actor playing seth and a new director. IT should of been Batista playing the main character, not RVD.. And maybe Steve Austin as his navy-seal buddy. If your a WWE fan, watch it.. but it might make you not like them anymore.

Going into this movie I expected the worst, but what I got out of "The Wrong Side of Town" was a surprisingly "ok" Action film, I would like to have other words to describe it but "ok" is the best for it. Pros. The script and story was good, and had me invested for its full running time. Direction and some Acting was good, especially Dave Bautista, he and his character were surprisingly funny and likable. Cons. The Editing was horrendous, with wrong angles being chosen, repetitious shots being used and just generally cutting at the wrong times. Some of this could be blamed on the script or direction but really it was nothing that editing couldn't fix or handle. Rob Van Dam's character was mediocre and although I didn't much the cliché' ex-military person character, his delivery of his dialogue and acting ability was passable. Although editing can fix it up, the continuity in this film was quite bad otherwise thats all the cons. I recommend this film for the bored Action lovers who don't care about mediocre action. I would of liked to give this film more all up but its technical aspects were just really bad. 1/5 for Technical 3/5 for Artistic For the Total of 4/10

If you looked at the cover for WRONG SIDE OF TOWN (2010) then chances are you're familiar with the guy holding two machine guns on the cover. Wrestling star Batista (credited here as David Bautista) is a hell of an imposing character, but he's not actually the star. In fact he only appears in a handful of scenes. Fellow wrestler Rob Van Dam is actually the hero and the fact that the distributors had such a lack of faith in his pulling power does not bode well. Sadly nothing that takes place during the brief 75 minute running time (excluding credits) does anything to correct that initial assumption. Taking inspiration from the likes of COMMANDO (1985), the movie is cheap and cheerful but also poorly paced and reeking of desperation. It's plot, soundtrack and casting (* star Stormy Daniels appears only to bare her breasts) all part of a calculated effort to appeal to undiscerning young males. There's nothing wrong with that but this lacks any invention or charm.

This is a fantastic film, enjoyable, funny, relaxing. The acting is descent, the story engaging filled with comedy. Its a story about friendship and man's approach to troubles that fate throughs his way. The most extraordinary thing about the characters is their realistic actions to their specific circumstances. For example RVD character never escalates the situation, he only reacts or the gang leaders infuriating rage after the death of his son, very funny and enjoyable to watch, almost like a theatre play. I don't get it why people criticise this film so much, sure they like shallow films like avatar or there will be blood, basically clichés or pretentious films. Wrong side of town is a well balanced film for its budget.

The plot is predictable and the acting is grade school but honestly what do you expect from a straight to DVD staring RVD? RVD's acting is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be and Batista's character is freakin awesome. "Who wants to die first?" Whoever the actress is that plays RVD's daughter is the worst by far. The main bad guy seriously looks like he is being played by Howie Mandel's brother. Also the cameo by King Mable is pretty funny. One thing that I did like about this movie is that is stays fairly realistic. There's no over the top action scenes or backflip kicks (Karate Kid). This movie is what is it; a low budget action flick but at least its watchable. I hope you weren't expecting Scarface.

This is the cheesiest action film ever made. The actors are the very worst, and the whole story is too predictable. The music is way too hard rock too, the film director got stuck in the 1980's. The whole thing is a joke, the fighting is so fake. The same thing applies to all the emotions, the characters get angry and the wrong time, shout at the wrong time... Normally I like predictable Hollywood films, but this crosses the line... by about a mile. The 'hero' is supposed to be this old navy seal, but all he looks like is a old truck driver. You'll get bored before the action is supposed to even begin. Definitely not a keeper, not even worth watching. They'd have to pay me to look at it again. It's just ridiculously bad.

Ya i know yall want to take turns kicking me but you know what? I call a spade a spade and i wasn't bored once through this film. OK if you are a wrestling fan as i am RVD is RVD he really never gets excited about anything even when he won both the world titles for the WWE and the Tna. And Dave Bautista on the other hand i sense acting skills if they were drawn out persay by and acting coach. Besides these guys are cooler then the other side of my pillow. When i first started to see the teaser trailers last year for Stallone's Expendables the hair used to rise on my arms. Then when it came to opening weekend bang we were there and let me tell you the disappointment of 2010. No script and RVD is 10 times the actor Dolph Lundgren will ever be. Every single fan of the expendables i have talked to all say who needs good acting and script they blow stuff up! OK but the same people bulk at this? Hmmmmm? Anyhow enjoy your slagging i take on all commers!
