Starring: A bunch of martial artists, stunt men and extras.
Review in a nutshell: I couldn’t make myself focus on this Sin City rip off for more than 5 minutes at a time without getting annoyed. It was just too slow and I didn’t find it visually interesting AT ALL. Perhaps because I’m a straight 38 year old woman. Perhaps because the “love interest” was an underage prostitute, half the age of the hero. I’m not sure. But this was the kind of movie I imagine heterosexual teenage boys like to watch when no one is home. If you don’t fall into that demographic, skip this and watch Brick instead. Or Payback.
Where I found it: Netflix
How much I paid for it: 84 minutes of my life
Points of interest: Dominique Swain who portrayed Lolita in the late ’90’s is in this. This is a movie about a guy in love with a 16 year old girl. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.
The Money Shot: When the teenager starts reciting poetry I promise you will want to shoot someone.

I love bad movies. LOVE them. I have several definitions of bad, but it all comes down to “bad on purpose” and “bad by accident”.
I will watch it if:
it can be described as science fiction, fantasy, or horror (Sometimes I will watch action comedy but these are less likely.)
it is described as a mystery or thriller and a serial killer is mentioned in the description.
it has less than three stars on Netflix
the cast includes Ron Perlman, Rutger Hauer, Henry Rollins, Bill Mosely, Bruce Campbell, Clancy Brown or Malcolm McDowell
Lovecraft, Cthulu or Dragons are mentioned in the title, tag line or box art.
