Who could have thought the director of "Equilibrium" could produce such drivel? This is the first movie I have seen where the trailer is actually better than the full film (mostly because of the song in the background, "24" by Jem).

The biggest problem with the movie is the dull action. Most of the fight choreography is uninspired, slow, and just plain unexciting. The fights are hackneyed, the acting from basically the entire cast (including the normally decent Fichtner and Bright) feels phoned-in, and the plot is full of holes and eyebrow-raisers.

A real disappointment.

This is one of those movies that seems longer than it really is, because it's so horrible. Now, obviously you don't watch "Leprechaun in the Hood" expecting anything more than standard horror-comedy fare: some scares, some gore, some jokes, and some T&A. Low-brow is fine if it's entertaining. The problem, though, is that this movie is never really scary or funny (the racial stereotypes are initially sorta-kinda funny, but quickly become embarrassing - as in, "Why am I still watching this?"), and the movie has no nudity to speak of (a major shortcoming in a flick like this, IMHO).

It's almost as if everyone involved conspired to make the most painfully bad movie in history...and they succeeded. Nothing in this movie ever makes sense. Nothing ever means anything. You hate all the characters on screen, even the villain. The "rap" in this movie is awful; while some might argue it's a parody of gangsta' rap, that still doesn't excuse it from having lame rhymes and a listless delivery.

Some movies are so bad they are good. This ain't one of them.
