Sindicato do Crime

directed by albert pyun in his inimitably awful but strangely hypnotic style, "crazy six" is yet another jewel in the crown for this decade's upscale hugo haas (jess franco?). "Stylish" overdirection, incoherent plotting, time-outs in the middle of action sequences for eurodisco torch -song performances, all these seem to be signifying traits for our man Pyun. Most interesting is how he always gets top-notch b-movie casts, compared to Wynorski or some of the other video directors. Ice-T, Rob Lowe, Mario Van Peebles, & the very strange Burt Reynolds ain't a bad cast, though they often look a bit confused. Check out "Postmortem", "Mean Guns", & "Omega Doom" for more top-notch Pyun mayhem!

Do not rent this movie. I ended up buying the "previously viewed" tape of this for $4.00. That was close to the price of a rental, so thought, I might as well buy it. I'm tossing it out after I finish this review. The movie which stars Lowe, is a music video with few lines of dialogue, slow moving shots and poorly done editing. I thought I'd be seeing a mindless action flick, which is what I wanted to see, I didn't even get that. This movie is an exercise in slow moving shots, no script, close-ups, terrible edited, and a poorly developed plot. I can't believe that is actually ends with a scene in which they think the audience cares about the characters. By the end of the movie, we still don't even really know who they are. Believe the hype, stay away.

I bought this movie because Mario Van Peebles is in it, and I am a HUGE fan of his. I did not know, however, that his younger brother, Max, was in the movie, as he is just as handsome as big brother. I did not think that Ice-T, Burt Reynolds or Rob Lowe did a good job at all. However, the Russian actress was better than all. More words should have been used for a better understanding of the entire movie, as the actors appeared totally to have a flat affect.

I have made a note of the Director's name to make sure I never see another of his films. Who gave him the money to do it?I watched it just after Jackie Brown by Tarantino (excellent)so the comparison was grim. The film was made by someone in love with himself - one long advert - ok lets have a few pretty clever shots - but all the way through? I didn't care a damn about any of the characters. Four of us watched it and, please, I thought I'd tell Blockbuster they might like to take it off the shelves before too many people asked for their money back. No pace, not remotely gripping - the only thing missing was the soft-porn B movie scenes - I suppose we can thank the makers for that.

this is the worst movie ive ever seen. And i have seen lots of movies. Me and my friends rented this one a wendsday evening. Man we had lots of fun. This movie is the worst most boring crap ive ever seen. But it makes you laugh! U will lay on the floor rolling around tryin to get some air. You wonder why? Just rent it and check for the keyboard playing girl at that sleazy russian bar. My mother would make a 1000 times better movie about her feedin the cats.
