That was an excellent one.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
"Lady in the Box" immediately brings to mind at least a bunch of superior films, including "Fargo", "A Simple Plan", and "Clay Pigeons". That is not to say that "Lady in the Box" is not without it's own entertaining elements. There are just a tad too many stretches of believability for my liking. Darren E. Burrows comes across as a young looking Billy Drago, while Mark Sheppard bears some resemblance to Tom Sizemore. One strong point is the music, which in the opening sequence exhibits a strong Ennio Morricone "Spaghetti Western" influence. This neo-noir has some unexpected twists and is entertaining, if a bit on the long side. Basically the plot is a scenario of compounding problems, with some dark humor thrown into the mix. - MERK
View Morethis film is one of the best b movies i have ever seen and it had a good story line.The movie is about a man who works in a bar and a man offers him $500 to dump a trunk in the sea and he accepts.I sat watching this film waiting to see what would happen next and it had lots of surprises in it.The acting is OK for a b movie i would recommend this film for hire or to buy if under 10 dollars.The film stars good actors like Robert Glen Keith,Robert Knepper and Paige Rowland just to mention a few.I bought this film in a 10 movie extreme action pack for $9 dollars but i would have paid $9 dollars to get this film on its own.Overall this film has its good bits and bad bits and out of 10 i gave it 6.
View MoreI saw this movie because it was set in Milwaukee.It started out kind of interesting,then it fell apart.A very muddled plot and terrible acting in this feature.I gave it a 5 simply because it was filmed here and it may have some curious interest in the area.Other than that,you maybe able to catch it at 3:00am on some cable channel.Porn star acting and a poor script ruin this one!
View MoreBeing from Milwaukee, I was interested in seeing this film. Since the bar that the main character works at in the film, "Barnacle Buds", is owned by a friend of mine, I was doubly curious, and rushed out on opening night to see it. I mean, how often are movies filmed in good old Milwaukee, WI. (And how often will I have a friend make a cameo? Hasn't happened since "Major League"!)I had no idea what to expect. I really didn't even know what kind of a movie it is until I saw it. What I got was a wonderful little film noir, a whodunnit type murder mystery filled with little twists and turns, and just a few laughs. I was surprised how riveted I was in wondering, "how will they get through THIS situation?"On the negative side, there were some very predictable moments, and the movie was obviously filmed on a low budget. When you see a police car appear while they have evidence in the car, of course they will be getting pulled over for something...but this does lead to the movies funniest moment, so it is forgivable.I have given "Lady in the Box" 7 out of 10 stars....(I am a very tough with giving out my votes. 7 is considered in the "Very Good, but with some problems" range). Go see it, it is an entertaining 2 hours.
