What a waste of my time!!!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I for one am a huge Angelina Jolie fan, so when I picked up this movie at blockbuster I was hoping that it would turn out to be a really good film. I wasn't disappointed but the movie didn't blow me away. It does go in a lot of directions and it doesn't really officially resolve any of the problems. But I must say that Angelina Jolie and Mekhi Phifer gave great performances, despite the fact that the script was only okay. Despite the script I have to give the movie its credit, it was gritty, disturbing, even moving at times and it did keep me watching. I did feel like I was directly in Hell's Kitchen. This film shows the budding talents of two very good actors and I am glad that I had a chance to see it. So I would give the movie a 7 out of 10.

I, along with a large chunk of the male population of this world, believe that Angelina Jolie is one of the most beautiful creatures on this green Earth (or quite brown in some drought ridden places such as our backyard) and have since become a fan of her movies. One night in a family video renting, I walked up the aisles of the video store trying to find something that grabbed my attention. In the Thriller section, I found many copies of this movie, and I question the judgement of the staff, as this is quite clearly a drama, and a pretty good one. Fortunately, I did not rent it out that night, as my Father would have had kittens if he let me watch this (for the record, I personally think I should have waited until I was a bit older), so I waited until he wasn't the one paying for it, and I got it then. Mekhi Phifer plays Jonny, a man who was involved in a robbery that went wrong, and as a result, an accomplice, Hayden is killed. Gloria (played -as usual- superbly by Angelina Jolie) was Hayden's sister, and confronts Jonny five years later after he gets out of jail, blaming him for the death of her brother. She asks her boyfriend, Patty, to kill Jonny, but for reasons that I shall not reveal, Patty knows that Jonny did not kill Hayden. Jonny settles back into Hell's Kitchen and trains to be a heavyweight champion. Some of the scenes are a bit too long, some are a bit disturbing, some are a bit weird, and some of them have all these things mixed together. But on the whole a good movie, but not one made for younger audiences. 8/10p.s. I might not be a good judge of the pacing of this movie, because when I watched it, we had younger visitors, and they weren't allowed to watch it, so I had to keep stopping and starting it, which is a shocking way to watch a movie.

A little bit slow movie about underground life. A guy comes out of jail after a robbery and finds his old fellows. Life is not easy in some places of NY and he'll have to face many complicated situations.Hell's kitchen is a sometimes hard and slow movie but I've found it to be quite realistic and educative also. Good acting and also good use of the music to put you in the situation.

This movie is a good reflection on what the lives of interesting people could be. Being a fan of Angelina Jolie, I loved her role. I would suggest this movie to anyone that is interested in NYC, or Angelina Jolie's movies. I have also liked the rest of the cast in their other movies, as well. So the cast adds wonderfully to the movie, or maybe they Are the movie... I have not found this movie very many places to rent, and even though it is a new movie, it is out-of-print. If you are interested in renting this movie, I found it at Blockbuster, so check it out if there is one near you. I also purchased mine on an auction.
