    Good on Atmosphere, Terrible on Character Development

    There's some nice cinematography and atmosphere. The film makes you feel the cold of the Toronto streets where the prostitutes ply their trade. It has a nice streets of the city, Scorsese "Taxi Driver" atmosphere.

    Unfortunately the characters, despite some nice acting by the cast, are pretty one dimensional. They are constantly doing things that are required by the script, but make no sense. For example, why does the lead character Jennifer stand freezing on a street after arriving in Toronto instead of getting help? Why does she go with a pimp (Lou Diamond Philips) who she has seen abusing women, including her best friend, Ola. Why does her best friend, Ola, befriend the prostitutes on the street, but not report the pimp to the police when he kills a prostitute? Why does the pimp kill the prostitute? Why does the cop threaten to kill the pimp whom he knows is a murderer, but does not arrest him? Why does a ticket seller for Greyhound tell a psychotic looking boyfriend which bus she has taken, when he can just say, "I don't remember." The answer is that they are following a script that makes them all look stupid at every turn.

    The movie's solution to the prostitution problems it raises is simple. Prostitutes and abused girlfriends should get guns and kill their tormentors. Police should just turn a blind eye when this happens.

    Three stars for the cinematography and acting. Zero for everything else.

    "Boulevard" makes the "Angel" (1984) exploitation film seem like Disneyland ...

    Not since "Ramrod", Wings Hauser, in the ultra violent "Vice Squad" (1982), has a pimp been more memorable than the sadistic "Hassan", played with gusto by Lou Diamond Phillips, in "Boulevard" (1994). This film is the real deal, with Kari Wuhrer playing a small town girl on the run from her abusive boyfriend. Winding up in the Toronto "red light district" , she is befriended by a sympathetic prostitute (Rae Dawn Chong), while being pursued by the pimp and her old boyfriend. Lance Henriksen is a vice detective who tries to keep things from getting out of control on the hooker infested streets. This is without question one of the best exploitation movies dealing with pimps and ho's, and makes something like "Angel" (1984) seem like Disneyland. - MERK

    Really very sad when you look past the dreggy style skin.

    In their harsh world, the regulars on the Boulevard engage in a minute to minute struggle against each other. The story presents action and reaction, with no intellectual depth or analysis. The Boulevard boasts a selection of hookers, drag queens, junkies, pimps, cops, murderers and rapists, all mistrusting each other, all dangerously defensive. Despite this, the most violent and sexually explicit scenes are those of Jennifers flashbacks to her messy past, before she came to the Boulevard. Jennifer lands homeless after a series of traumatic events; she's just given birth, adopted her baby out, run away from her abusive partner, and given up all her money for a bus ticket to Toronto. A local working girl feels sorry for her so takes her in. Performance ranks as one of the better features of Boulevard. I've never seen Kari Wuhrer play a part so well. Lance Henriksen and Lou Diamond Phillips were damn memorable. Hahah. The quality of the film crashes when it comes to relationship development. Broad insults, verbal abuse, sex and physical violence sum up almost all character interaction. Even the budding 'love' between Jennifer and Ola seemed more like a convenient, mutually-rewarding 'arrangement'. The ugly ending only exemplified Boulevard as one of the cheaply effective 90's-classic tragedy genre. But still, quite good.

    Like a Lifetime Network movie but with tits

    Kari Wuhrer is Jennefer, a spousally battered woman, who takes to the streets of Toranto to escape her past where she meets Ola (Rae Dawn Chong) a 'hooker with a heart of gold' who takes her under her wing. Of course it's only a matter of time before Jen starts turning tricks herself, which she does. But the mean old pimp (Lou Diamond Phillips, marginally better here than he was in "Bats") may mess up the budding relationship that Jen and Olga are starting up (yea they're lesbian 'girl power' yay). Lance Henriksen is also on hand, and sadly wasted, as a cop. If you took out the nudity (which would also cut out any reason why any guy would watch this), this would make a film that Lifetime would LOVE.

    Eye Candy: Kari Wuhrer gets fully nude (you have to sit through pretty much all of this turd to see it though); Amber Lea Weston shows her right tit extremely briefly, and Rea Dawn Chong gets topless (ok, the last one isn't really a selling point)

    My Grade: D-

    Where I saw it: FLIX

    Boulevard exceeded my expectations and was an engaging watch.

    Boulevard (1994) is a Canadian film 🇨🇦 that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows an abused woman with no family, forced to live on the streets. A prostitute takes her in and offers her a place to stay until she gets back on her feet. However, the young woman decides to become a prostitute herself, and when the harsh realities of the street catch up with her, both women's lives are put at risk. Meanwhile, her abusive ex-boyfriend is on her trail.

    Directed by Penelope Buitenhuis (Tokyo Girls), the film stars Rae Dawn Chong (The Color Purple), Lou Diamond Phillips (Courage Under Fire), Kari Wuhrer (Eight Legged Freaks), and Lance Henriksen (Aliens).

    This is one of those unpredictable films that keeps you hooked because you genuinely want to see how it unfolds. While it's far from perfect-with poor cinematography and some odd camera angles-the strong cast and authentic sense of desperation make it compelling. Rae Dawn Chong is stunning in this role, and as expected given the subject matter, there's plenty of nudity. The subplot involving the abusive ex-boyfriend feels a bit far-fetched and frustrating at times, but it does keep you invested in how it resolves. The violence is gritty and realistic, adding weight to the story, and the ending ties everything together in a satisfying way.

    In conclusion, Boulevard exceeded my expectations and was an engaging watch. I'd rate it a 7/10 and recommend it if you're in the mood for something a bit different.
