Escape from Death Block 13

Shot like a low budget flick, to make some quick beer money.

The plot was full of holes, the acting was weak, and the special effects were anything but "special".

I was surprised this thing was filmed in 2021, it has more of an 80's feel to it.

And speaking of the 80's, a flick of this caliber may have made its mark at the box office back then, but these days, the audience expects much better than this.

Lastly, there's nothing about this movie that brings anything new, there's so many movies like this, it grows old fast.

With that thought in mind and by using a Charles Bronson look-a-like, I think it proves movie producers are out of ideas.

Robert Bronzi (Death Kiss) is back in another low-rent 80's style action flick & it's damn good fun.

Charles Bronson lookalike Bronzi plays Mike Kovacs a foreign man in America to find out why his brother died & it leads him to a drugs smuggling operation & into the prison system. Bronzi is sent into a deadly prison as an undercover informant for the US government & must face the brutality of it's corrupted guards & evil warden. Death Block 13 is a prison action film crafted in the style of those Awesome old school one's we grew up watching on video like Tango & Cash & Fortress & Lock-up & Death Warrant, but this one is made on a very tiny budget. The effects are ridiculously cheap & tacky & the fight scenes are slow & bizarre just like most of the weird characters here but it's fun in it's cheap grindhouse type of way. I couldn't help but enjoy it's craziness. Of course this isn't as good as the blood soaked Masterpiece Death Kiss but it's still a fun retro action flick.

Director Gary Jones is a great movie Director within the low-budget B-movie genre & has gave us such Awesome gems as SPIDERS (a Favourite of mine) & CROCODILE 2: DEATH SWAMP (Great Sequel) & MOSQUITO (a Cult Classic B-movie) & he's done alot more good work in T. V & other flicks but those three films are GREAT Creature Feature B-movies.

Often the Audio isn't very good in the prison scenes but it's forgiven for what director Gary Jones (Spiders) managed to pull off on an obvious small budget. Bronzi is good at just looking tough & looking like Bronson & carries himself like an old school 80's action hero. There's some cheesiness of course but the action scenes are decent & the action-packed & bloody prison escape last act is well worth the wait. The big muscled bald guy called Bunyan is decent along with Bronzi & i liked the 80's retro feel to it all. The score is really good also. Other actors throughout are crappy but that really doesn't matter in a cheap action flick like this. I got 80's action vibes from Death Block 13 so it done it's job in my opinion. Bronzi does have a strong screen presence & is a perfect low-budget, B-movie old skool Action hero & i hope he has a good career ahead.

A low-budget Action B-movie that is bloody good fun.

I'm looking forward to more Bronzi action flicks.

A very low-budget movie that is chock-full of really, really bad (and really, really slow) fight scenes, bullets that look cheaply done, and a Charles Bronson-lookalike which I'm pretty has had half of his lines re-dubbed.

The plot is simple: man goes to claim his dead brother's money, man gets sent to jail on false charges, man breaks out of jail, man gets his final revenge. Now the story is schlock and the acting of EVERYONE is amazingly bad. But there is something satisfying about the final vengeance kill. THAT gives the movie one extra star in my book. Otherwise, it's really, really mediocre. Not insultingly worthless mediocre, but mediocre as all hell regardle

Finally, what's with the film's fascination with poorly digitized birds? Seriously, look for it. Just so very odd.

I've reviewed over 1,200 films and rated over 2,200, and this has to be in the top 10 worst films of all time. However, as far as the worst acting of all time, the legendary Charles Bronson look-a-like wannabe Robert Bronzi wins first place. There is not one casting agency that will use their name to say they represent Bronzi, so I'll assume he won the Hungarian lottery jackpot; this horrible nonsense was his 6th starring role, so clearly his winning jackpot was huge enough to fund all his cringeworthy films to make him feel like he's an "action movie star". I'm guessing he forgot to spend at least half his winnings for acting classes.

One would think this was a horrible film from the 1980's - CGI and laughable action scenes and special effects, but sadly this is a 2021 production. What's even worse, is that this was directed by an experienced director, Gary Jones. Was he medicated and/or drunk directing this garbage? I've never heard of Jones, but I'd be embarrassed to have my name on this film even as a first-time director, let alone an experienced one.

The 104 min runtime was excruciatingly painful to watch. Every cliche imaginable for this genre was present, but only in their worst versions possible. This entire production, including 99% of the acting, was worse than a 5th grade drama class play. The only (barely) entertaining actors were Nicholas Turturro, and Chris "Bunyan loves trees!" Hahn, who was hilarious, especially his laughing. Bronzi's action scenes looked like he was suffering arthritic pain and had no clue how to fight. All the S/VFX were the worst I've ever seen, including that one attempt for gore after a fall. And since when does blood turn into red smoke lmao?

If you really want to get even with someone, convince them to see this mess. Thankfully, I saw this with a bunch of friends with lots of beers and bongs, and because we couldn't stop laughing out loud how terrible this was, I'm giving this a very generous 2/10 for comedic value. Mr. Bronzi, please spare all of us, and yourself the embarrassment, and use whatever lottery winnings you have left to buy a yacht and some babes and never speak of acting again. Thanking you in advance.

...and what do you do when you're like the rest of tinseltown in the 21th century - got no new ideas, innovation and creativity in movie art? Ya resurrect them in the shape of actors who look like these passed movie legends and continue milking a concept, story and style in order to get easy money and please the modern hipster virus with legs in a true trendvictimized manner, but of course.
