Simply A Masterpiece

A Masterpiece!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This has been my favourite film for a while now and I make sure all my friends watch it at some point. It is simple and brutal, yet also more involved and clever every time you watch it. Despite knowing the film quote-by-quote I still have to watch it at least once a month or so; I really suggest you at least give it a try. The characters fill a colourful spectrum and all have a very real quality to them, with their own quirks and sayings. I have heard people try to pick out little flaws, but I say you can't be nit-picky with action films, and if you want to you can counter any argument with a bit of reason. That isn't the point, the point is like any film; to just enjoy it. If you are looking for everything and every emotion then look no further. I'm going to go and watch it now. I hope that you enjoy!

A BETTER WAY TO DIE is an entertaining, albeit mindless, low-budget action film. Like many films in this direct-to-video niche, there's no rhyme or reason to why things happen in DIE, except simply to say that things happen because it leads to other things happening, such as the constant gunfights and other action-related sequences.Basically a string of shootouts and violent deaths linked together by an afterthought of a story, A BETTER WAY TO DIE is still quite entertaining. That is, if you manage to turn off your brain and realize that the reason cops never show up is because it would ruin the next upcoming gunfight.Of note is Lou Diamond Phillips, who continues his string of Cheesy Villains in these direct-to-video action films. What has happened, Lou?5 out of 10.

Scott Wiper is one of the most talented film makers of my (30 something) generation! And Larry Sher is a cinematographic genius! (Way to go there Kyle and Ephram!)I know this to be true because I have had the great experience of working with both of them.I loved the film guys! Let's hope you partner up for another one soon.For all of you action/suspense film lovers - this film is for you! Move over Bruce, Arnie, and Sly - here comes Scotty Wiper!

Nothing particularly unique about this movie, but it held my attention all the way through. Solid acting, direction, reasonably interesting story, good cast of characters; about the only complaint I would make is that I always felt like I was missing something. That's not specific enough to be of much use, I suppose, but it's as close as I can get to verbalizing my complaint. I give this one 6/10; watch it if you don't have anything else to do.
