ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

zsenorsock Writer-Director Eric DelaBarre is the author of a self-help book and in his IMDb bio one of his personal quotes is: "Failure is an opportunity to see things in a new light...giving us a new direction in which to move." Hopefully DelaBarre took his own advice and decided to move in a new direction and away from writing and directing feature films. This modern day "Mod Squad" reinvention is a dull mess. To combat a Venice drug war, under pressure from the Mayor (who of course is up for re-election) Captain John Sullivan (Ed Lauter, who you've seen everywhere) agrees to go with a plan cooked up by Sgt. Rick Mills (Randall Batinkoff, who you've seen in "Buffy"). His plan is to get a team of undercover operatives (not even out of the academy yet!) and have them infiltrate the underbelly of Venice. Their job is to stop the violence using whatever force they want. See since they are not really cops, they don't have to play by the rules. So they don't. As they investigate they find themselves stalked by a mysterious killer...a man with a golden gun! Sound interesting to you? Me neither. Can't blame the actors much. They have to deliver some pretty awful dialog. However Carolina Garcia and Eric Mabius do a good job (though not for one second do we believe they are undercover cops), Danny Trejo makes a menacing figure (though is given nothing to do but look menacing) and Nichole Hiltz is always a delight (though watch her love making scene closely and watch the flesh colored top appear and disappear in subsequent shots!). Unless you know somebody in this one, there's not much reason to watch it.

dreamtheater46 I am happy someone borrowed this movie to me .Is't just Awful!!! The Plot is just plain stupid.The Acting is Terrible and the Director must have been on Drugs.I didn't even Finish watching the Movie cause i couldn't stand the bad acting no more. It's really sad that some of the Actors like Edward Furlong and some other familiar faces accept Stupid Scripts like these!! Do yourself a favor and don't even rent this Movie,you would be angry for waisting your time-i think this Movie if didn't even get to play in theatersJust Plain Badif i could rate this movie from 1-10 i would give it a big 0 it doesn't even deserve a 1

browchay Somebody owes me 1 hour and 32 min's of my life back. This film is beyond terrible. If it'd been terrible I'd have suffered through it happily.The storyline, the plot, the characters .. nothing works. If you're going to make a film like this at least try to make it mildly realistic. Unless of course all cops in Venice are young and sexy and drive Ferrari's What a load of old rubbish. Save you money and buy yourself a beer instead.The acting is weak and Edward Furlong should be severely reprimanded. He's had enough acting experience to know how to act by now surely ?!

del hart What a load of tripe this movie is, i cannot understand why Ed Lauter and Danny Trejo would have anything to do with this film, the acting and directing are dire, and the plot is clueless, a woman on a steak out in a bar, using a walkie talkie phone to talk to one of the other "undercover" cops out side in a top down convertible Mustang, five of them go out to stake out a bar, again in a top down convertible,five of them ??, they send two of the girls into one of the toughest places in Venice Beach, acting as hookers, and they take the place apart in a flash, but the rest of the team is outside standing in the street with headphones on listening in, covert or what. one of the "undercover" cops get pregnant, but not sure which one of the other cops is the father, do i really need to say any more, watching paint dry would be more exciting.
