Charming and brutal

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.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

****SPOILER ALERT****Hood Angels does exactly what it says on the tin. The cover is a perfect summary of what is to come. The film is filled with outstanding, heart pounding action scenes featuring intense and truly brutal fight sequences. But don't let that make you think that 'Hood Angels' is your typical AAA Hollywood action film because it is not. There is a serious amount of sympathy for our 3 protagonists as they are arrested for crimes they did not commit (much like Andy Dufresne). To draw a link between 'Hood Angels' and 'Shawshank Redemption' wouldn't do the film justice. You cannot help but endure that sinking feeling as Cinnamon, Traci and Felicia are thrown into jail. Genius director Paul Wynne then continues with the heart break as lead character Nitro (played ingeniously by rapper 'Juvenile') is violently murdered. Thankfully the film doesn't try to tick every box and avoids the temptation to delve into comedy. This only adds to intensity of this films action and overall success.Le Jon's performance as the mail-room clerk is nothing short of breath- taking, it is rare that the movie industry runs into such a young yet talented actor.The moment the credits rolled was the moment I whispered the word Oscar. 10/10

If you actually seen this film. Im plays out to be a lot about Tupca Shakur / Suge Knight and the whole Death Row Records. Its very obvious that this is what the movie is really about. You have to be a fool not to think so. So the film is inspired by Tupac's life and experiences with Death Row Records. Red HQ, Juvenile as Tupac, Suge, etc. Even faked death, and came back. It a very good movie, about Tupac and Death Row Records.The film in a whole is OK! But I would've felt like the director, Paul Wynne could do something more better.. Unlike Charlie's Angels (film-wise..) there was a lot of things.. Humour, action, love, etc.. which all makes up the whole film entertaining.. This one was almost hits the mark.. Mind you, the three lead characters were good. They stood out alright.. But this is a black urban version of Charlie's Angels.. The rap music did get me going.. There are musical tracks on there that I was really rocking to.. which made me (the viewer) kept going with the film..

I watched Hood Angels last months as a couple of friends decided to put the movie on.There are three main female characters in the film (Cinnamon, Felicia and Traci) who all get involved in bad situations but through innocent circumstances come together after they are sent to prison.I believe that the film did have some potential as the main character Cinnamon tries to uncover the truth about her brothers murder and there are one or two twists along the way. The main antagonist in the film is Shayla who has instigated a lot of the trouble and she can be quite a bitch at times. Her cat fight with Felicia is probably one of the best fight scenes in the film.There were however some disappointments, the acting could have been improved between some of the characters as they could have had more personality and the effects could have been a little better, also there is not a lot of action in the film until the final half an hour which is worth seeing.Sadly i can only give this film 4 out of 10.

OK this movie was worse then a b grade porn movie. I was even convinced that the chick that played traci was in this porn movie i had seen. I still dunno if it was her. The sound track was probably the best bit of the movie. The story line is good. But If it had better directing, better actors it could be a good movie. Maybe down the future they might decide to do a remake. If not can someone pleaseeeeeeee suggest it.. I so wont be recommending it to anyone i know. Cept for a bad movie night or something.The bit that made me laugh in the movie. Was when they were sitting in the office and they were about to be tied up with the tape and then the chic i cant remember her name gets the gaffer tap and she gets knocked to the ground by nitro. And then when nitro is getting to the girls they are all tied up.
