Ready 2 Die

I was looking for a new crime filled movie (lets admit it gangster flicks are always a blast) when I stumbled across Ready 2 Die. The plot is pretty straight forward with a bank robbery gone wrong as they are trying to get somewhere safe after stealing quite a load of money. Of course the cops are after them as you would expect but to top that off they also have to avoid rival gang members who want the money for themselves. The characters within aren't people you are going to necessarily like but if you love to watch people getting away with (quite literally) murder this is a joyride you aren't going to want to get off of.

The plot is a pretty standard robbery flick with a low budget but but the action really stood out as gritty and fun. Honestly the budget is what hurt this film as if the filmmakers had more to put into the effects I really could see this as something that could stand out. As it is if you are in the mood for some pure violent fun this one would be worth your time!

Any of the high rating reviews, must have come from people who were extremely high or agoraphobic. Believe me, this waste of time is absolutely dreadful. The acting is not the worst I've seen, but everything else about this production is. The direction and the editing are like it was done by high school students in the audio/visual lab. Man it's bad, but not much worse than anything else from Asylum. 🤢

I watched this movie with my brother, and because we are both fans of the action genre, we know to be very difficult audience to please. "Ready 2 Die" proved worthy of our Friday evening time.

This is an edge of your seat action-thriller, that hits fast gear with its first scenes and never slows down. I won't reveal much of the plot, the storyline is decent for an action movie, but nothing too special. What makes the movie original is having a feeling like watching a documentary in a dangerous neighborhood of LA.

The characters in "Ready 2 Die" are believable and young crew did a great job acting very well. In addition to their performance, there are three other big elements that make this a cool action flick: good music, incredible gunfight sequences and hot chicks.

I enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it. I give it a 8/10 !

The first thing that strikes me about Ready 2 Die is how well director John Azpilicueta utilizes limited resources and makes this feel like it had a much bigger budget than it probably did. The cinematographer in particular places you right in the action, as if you're a character in the film getting pulled through the action. This documentary feel was a smart choice for the story, as it ups the intensity, especially in the action scenes (which include one of the best car chase sequences I've seen in a long time). Not all of the acting is top notch, and there are some sound problems that would prevent this film from landing a perfect score, but there's enough good about it that it ranks as "very good- excellent" and is more than worth the watch.

This film has no redeeming features. The acting, script, music, cinematography, story, direction, editing, lighting, special effects, even the tattoos are rotten. The worst film I've seen in ages. An embarrassment to everyone involved. Excruciating to watch.
