Knight Club

This was as great flick! Even if you just take it as a tour of the LA nocturnal scene, it's worth a watch. And it is a really accurate character study of the types you meet when rolling from club to club. Acting was great, especially Navarro. I wish E.R. would have him on every week. And despite some bad choices, I've always loved Lou Diamond Phillips.

It doesn't have the flash that a big budget would have been able to throw in, but I was amazed at what a low-budget indie was able to pull off. I mean, look at how many great locations they were able to pull together. Yeah, maybe it was a different in Australia, but here in the U.S., it was on the nose. Good job, filmmakers.

I found the story line riveting and full of unexpected twists and turns. I wonder if a different movie was released in Australia. This is a great indie film. The script tells a great story that is about actors, but which really reflects on the temptations all of us face. Lou Diamond Phillips did a great job and is supported by a strong cast. I really enjoyed the cinematography and the overall story line. The best thing is the direction which is smooth and stylish. The editing is nicely paced and the soundtrack really helps move the story along. For a low budget film the production values are great. It feels like you see all of Los Angeles, and much of it at night. I think it is a really good example of a the genre of actor's stories which includes a host of other films. More people should see independent films like this.

I don't know what that other user is talking about, but this film was a compelling look at the ups and downs of a group of people in LA. As someone in LA, a lot of the stuff that happened in the film was true to life. And the cast...you can't get any better than that! Lou Diamond Phillips (who granted, has done some bad films in the past) was great in this film. And Lochlyn Monroe, a very underrated actor in Hollywood right now, did just as good a job as Phillips did. Even Glenn Plummer did well, considering some of the horrific films he's had to overcome in the past. I'd say definitely give this movie a chance. Pop some popcorn, get in your favorite chair, and sit back for an enjoyable ride.

Knight Club is a group of trained security people, aka bouncers which Lou Diamond Phillips heads who do the security at various Hollywood clubs. A young aspiring actor Lochlyn Munro whose career is going nowhere fast hooks up with Phillips and his group and he does real well at first. Lou's part is similar to what Patrick Swayze was in Road House.

It's all in the attitude and the skills you need to defend yourself and maintain order. Acting is about fakery and convincing people you're something you're not and that's half the job as a bouncer. Munro who got dumped by his girlfriend is soon awash in feminine pulchritude.

But it all goes to his head and Munro who starts as a nice kid from Wyoming takes a mighty big fall.

There seems to be a real sharp division of opinion on this film, people either seem to like it or hate it. For myself it's not Citizen Kane, but both Munro and Phillips give good performances in the parts of a kid and his mentor who fall out with bad consequences for the former.

It will never be listed among the great films for Lou Diamond Phillips, but it's not half bad.

This movie is perhaps the worst film I've seen in the last few months. The acting is bad, the script is bad, everything about it is bad. I've never seen so many cliches thrown into 90 minutes of footage. The "plot" as such is pretty lame, the "acting" is forced and laughable, and the characters are boring and uninteresting. However, this movie is actually pretty funny. Funny to laugh at. Only watch this film if you want something to mock.
