Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Leofwine_draca L.A. CRACKDOWN is a 1988 action thriller directed by Joseph Merhi, the Syrian born chap responsible for directing and producing a seemingly endless stream of low-budget thrillers throughout the 1990s. Plot-wise, it's a nondescript thing about a dedicated policewoman who personally sees the plight of crack-addicted drug addicts and decides to go after the dealers herself in order to teach them a lesson.Everything about this film is cheap but I found the lack of budget gives it a certain grittiness not to be found in bigger budgeted and slicker Hollywood productions. Another surprise is that the characters are a lot better than the genre usually provides, with a sympathetic lead bolstered by likable supporting characters; you find yourself really rooting for the heroine as she seeks to get revenge against some fairly disgusting villains. The action, when it hits, is strictly routine, but the film doesn't disappoint in its depiction of a raw and realistic 'street' atmosphere.
