Fuego cruzado

Not the worst film I've ever seen, but it ranks among the worst.

Best described as a cynical appeal to the adrenaline junky, this film features an unbelievably high body count, a thin plot, and really goes overboard with its unrelenting stream of obscenities. None of this appears to support any higher purpose or artistic intent and is therefore basically gratuitous. Skip this one. There are many better crime thrillers out there that are not this junky or offensive.

I watched this movie at least five times (yes, five times!) and I want more of it. Like a previous reviewer opined, the more I return to watch this movie, the more I liked it.

This has got to be one of the best known examples of why people who write reviews must breathe in deeply and exhale slowly before they assume the role of butcher working on someone else's hard work. Those who expected gratuitous violence can be excused for their disappointments.

Forget the theme of the movie and take a lateral view on some of the smaller characters portrayed for a second. Consider the dialogue between the Asian-looking female bar tender to the character of Richmond Arquette. His response is so, so true concerning men who find themselves down who fall in love with well off ladies in the hope of having a place to sleep. Yes, the abandoned warehouse he sleeps in is better than taking advantage of a woman who expected love for the sake of hitching a ride to comfort. Also consider the impulsive and impetuous character of De'aundre Bonds against that of Robert Wisdom. Lots of funny dialogue there. Then again think of the scene of an exasperated character played by Ice T shooting at the armoured car on finding that their plan was increasingly attracting audience.

Forget the bad reviews. If you found yourself with nowhere to go on a rainy Saturday morning, watch this movie and reflect on the ambitions of these characters and you will see the beauty of this movie.

This must be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The plot was so tiny, that writer/director Kurt Voss had to fill the time with "Pulp Fiction"-like meaningless dialog. Unfortunately he is not Quentin Tarantino. So his dialogs are just plain boring, not funny. The acting is bäh, the characters are flat and unbelievable, but the main problem is: Nothing ever happens. They are just talking and talking and talking and bla bla bla. Don't waste your time on this one. Instead watch Pulp Fiction once again. Even if you've already seen it a thousand times.

1/10

i have seen this film more than once, each time it gets better and better, luke perry at his usual best, where is his oscar? a film and a half 9/10

No one ever said that crimes are fun and entertainment an this movie shows us just that. It keeps it real. Ice T plays a very very bad man and does in in a manner that is believable. The acting may not be beautiful and emotional but it it real. Real crime with a touch of fictional intertwining of characters who are also as real. It isn't about the acting, it's about the personal stories we can imagine, such as the hardened criminal trying to go straight seeking God and ending up using God as an excuse for his inability to stop killing innocents, it is about the derelict brother who always fails because he is unable to realize his ways are wrong and ends up preying on his good hearted sibling. It's about the pretty girl who is also brave and not easily intimidated. And there is more, the intelligent black kid who wastes his talent using it for the wrong reasons and the white wannabe gangsters who end up getting involved with more than they can handle and pay a high price. All these characters may appear boring to some (see other comment) but they really exist, what the film does is involve them in a tragicomic situation that may not be as fascinating as Pulp Fiction but is by far more real, if for no other reason than the actors not being Hollywood Stars.
