View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreGood films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreWorst direction with too many long and single shots and editing is piece meal with the worst annoying back ground music (was a broom used as an instrument?) ever in a movie. Most boring dialog ever in a movie between Parsons and Steve next to some drab building that is supposed to be a Federal prison. This movie is so awful, must be seen just to see how bad it is. The action takes place mostly around this mansion. The only action is people wandering around aimlessly with guns drawn and shooting each other. The story is non existent and none of them have any clue about acting and then this bald guy screaming like a dog barking out orders. Horrible movie. I have no idea how I ended up seeing this movie..must be some kind of bad movie Karma!
View MoreLet's start with a quote: "The soundtrack was done by a musician from the Sacramento band Far" Absolutely FALSE, three bands music was showcased in this movie all of which are/were Christian bands (strange considering the dialogue of the movie.) "Project 86" - the rock stuff, Material from an album called Analogue from former label-mates of mine "Virus" from Springfield MO. originally, and 2 tracks from from my former 2 person band "prophecy of Panic" from the Inland Empire area of Southern California east of LA.Though I thought it was fantastic to have my music be put in a movie I couldn't help but notice that we were not asked if our music could be used. I only found out about this movie while searching for net info and chatter about my band. Through net searches I was finally able to locate the director and writer Darren Doane and I spoke with him about the lack of asking for permission and he confessed that he failed to contact my band before his budget for the film ran out. He said that the distributor had to finish the post production work on this movie due to his lack of funds and swears he asked the distributor to clear all the music before going to the print. As it turned out, we were never contacted and the movie was subsequently released with 2 of my personal tracks without permission or compensation. Some of my earlier stuff can be found on I-tunes and I am still debating on putting up a myspace page. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my music or otherwise.
View MoreWhen I saw the box I thought I was in for a very big action/fighting movie.Dang was I in for a big surprise.Here is what you are in for if you rent and fall for this very different movie that seemed like a very non-u.s.a. made film with very lazy camera work,stupidish dialog, very weak atmosphere and very little action that seems really poor planning that doesn't work! In the beginning you see these two guys arguing about nothing.The one guy says BS about 10 times. Its like he wanted your attention or that was his favorite thing to say. And then we see Gary Daniels fight this chunky guy.The camera poorly shows them fight like almost the whole time we only saw a part of their body's plus the camera was sideways and nearly upside-down. There is a lot more of this great camera work in other parts of the film. On the box Gary Daniels has a katana sword,I didn't see him use it in the film,where in the heck was it and according to the box his family is in a house and he wanted to get them out because bad guys were going to blow the home up and after all of the fighting you never saw him get them out or at the end or at any time at all. Daniels talks to this guy who in prison on a filthy bench for 15 plus minutes!What a waste of film and time.Is all the guy was talking about was I gotta stop taking drugs and get out of here.If I wanted to a conversation like that I'LL talk to MY next door neighbor. There was so much silly talk,some of the worst camera work and it looks like some one was rubbing the color on the film,oh it was so messed up.It looked like this was a practice feature instead of a movie.I can't even describe how horrible the score and music was. This movie was so dang bad I laughed and laughed and I said I can't believe this,that someone actually made a film like this.What a terrible piece of film,I just can't believe it.Its some of the worst I have seen.Do you believe ME?If not just rent Black Friday and see for yourself.Black Friday is one of best of the worst films ever made! So the bottom line is if you like really bad films this is thing is for you otherwise if want a really big time action flick but I rented Black Friday and gave the film another chance. The results was that it made Me laugh even more! The fight scene between Gary Daniels and co-fight coordinator Tsuyoshi Abe was even funnier in the green lighted car garage. The scene was a slow fight but Daniels delivers with a great kick with a mean look on his face to the sturdom area of Tsuyoshi Abe's character as he hits the wall hard. The conversation on the bench did last almost fifteen minutes! The villain I thought was better than before but he still said BS about six times during the beginning:) The music was very bizarre but yet it grows on you as the films goes on. I am glad I saw Black Friday again. Its an action film that's serious but make you laugh which is fine with Me!
View MoreBlack Friday is an awesome actioner! I just totally dig the cool music and the rad camera angles! The color content was toned perfectly and the fight scenes were flawless! Martial Arts and pure action fans, Own Black Friday Now!
