Beyond Justice

You want me to defend him, set him free and deliver him to you." Jaxon Stone (Woodward Jr.) is one of the best lawyers in town. When two clients hire him he begins his investigations to find a way to free them. When it turns out that one of the clients has ulterior motives Jaxon is in a difficult spot. Either save the defendant and he dies, or prove he's guilty and Jaxon dies. So judging by the cast alone I was expecting this to be garbage. Nothing against the stars of the movie but most of the movies they have been in have been pretty low budget and slow. That said I will do this review in two parts. First of all I have to say that this is one of the most technically bad movies I have ever seen. The camera goes in and out of focus, the zooms are so close that you can't see the actor's whole face, and the boom mic never seems to be in the right place. Some of the dialog is echoed and some is too loud. All that said though the actual plot and movie was much better than I was expecting. The biggest problem with movies like this have been that they are so slow moving. This movie is only an hour and 15 minutes long so it really moves along quickly. The idea is really interesting and that is what really got me and I ended up staying interested the entire time. I am not saying that this is an amazing movie or something to run out and see but this is a million times better than I was expecting. Overall, one of the biggest surprises I have seen in a while. Far surpassed my expectations. I surprisingly give this a B-.

Review: This film was awful. After getting over how cheap the movie looked, and the terrible soundtrack, I was hoping that the storyline was going to be half interesting but that was a disappointment as well. As usual, Vinnie Jones is playing the thug who wants to revenge the murder of his son so he asks a lawyer to try his best to release the accused murderer so he can take his own revenge. With the help of the accused sister, they find out that her brother actually didn't kill Vinnie s son and that he was protecting his lover, who was Vinnies son's girlfriend, so they plot to take down Vinnie and his crooked bunch. They also get the help from Luke Goss (from Bros) whose an private investigator with a drinking habit but he isn't really in the film that much. Anyway, the acting was really bad, especially from the leading actor, played by Timothy Woodward Jr., who also directed the movie. The storyline was straight forward but the director made a mess of it. At the end of the day, it's just another low budget movie from Trejo and Jones which should have gone straight to VHS except for DVD. Rubbish!

Round-Up: I would love to know whose funding these awful movies because they must have money to burn. I wasn't expecting that much from the film because of the cast and the fact that the advert looked cheap but I thought that I would give it a go, which was a bad mistake. Trejo is waving his machete around like a mad man, as usual and Vinnie Jones is playing the usual cockney hard man, which we have seen many times before. Anyway, the movie was a total waste of time and money and I really can't find anything positive to say about this cheap attempt at a gangster movie.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their cheap thriller/drama movies about a lawyer who has to release a prisoner so a gangster can revenge his brothers death. 1/10

I ONLY checked this out because I'm a big fan of Danny Trejo but his character was horrible here & the crappy beyond cheap film looked like it was filmed with a cheap camcorder!!!!

Absolutely nothing good about this poor trash.

I'm a fan of Danny Trejo and this movie caught my interest because of him. I was pleasantly surprised that as the film went on, I became interested in the story and wanted to see how it turned out. Without giving away any spoilers, I liked the way Tim Woodward and Vinnie Jones carried off their roles. Mr. Jones is increasingly solid in his roles as the sinister gangster/villain. Mr. Trejo had a smaller part and does what he does in character. The film had a good pace to it and didn't drag on and on like most in the genre. Be sure to watch the ENTIRE movie (beyond the credits)! IMO this film deserves more than than the mediocre rating it has received thus far. This one was worth the watch for me.
