Sharkskin 6

Crime is life. Laughter is life. Brotherhood is life. This movie has all of that and more. It looks at the pragmatic side of the crime business (what - you thought wise-guys spend all of their time sitting around eating spaghetti while polishing their machine guns?). It's thoroughly enjoyable.

The new "Rat Pack" live, plot, plunder, and endure. Don't miss it. It's real.

The action is nicely paced with real conversations, human imperfections, and a healthy dose of humor as it occurs. The violent scenes are not too gory. Violence is immediate and permanent and the film moves on - as we do in real life.

The director, cast, and crew did a terrific job at entertaining us.

Did I say it's real? real life...real violence...real comedy...real good...See it!

Keep in mind, even De Palma has made a few bad films. Take "Mission to Mars" for example (possibly the worst film EVER made), which wasn't even De Palmas first film (made in 2002 - this was his 32nd movie) and it was made AFTER such classics as Carlito's Way, Scarface and Carrie! And then there's "Phantom Of The Paradise" (an absolutely, utterly, indescribably horrible movie), but there are still people that call it a "Classic".

This is Trevor Kings first film (ever). Sure, he borrowed a little from "Resevoir Dogs", but then all that Tarantino did was rip-off De Palma (who ripped off Alfred Hitchcock) - and look where he is now. Trevor King obviously has a passion for film making, he just hasn't defined his own genre yet. With a little more experience he will refine his art and one day "Sharkskin 6" may be considered a classic (like "Phantom Of The Paradise" is now).

I thought this film was great! It breaks the formula rule you see in most films today and also combines comedy and drama. It takes place in a crazy retro world with gangsters and retro clothing. It's like Hairspray meets Goodfellas. I also liked the effects that were used. I thought Shadoe Stevens was very funny as the game-show host and action sequences were very cool.

Ray Wise was great! The cast had a lot of good characters. Well worth the price. I read online that the Director Trevor King will be doing a bigger budget film soon, I hope he keeps the cool vibe that this one has and the retro style.

Check it out!

What a great movie! Action, violence, humor and a feel of "cool" are the hallmarks of this great film. You find yourself hating the main characters one minute, then loving them the next! The film was described by someone who saw it as "Reservoir Dogs meet the Rat Pack"! The Director did a terrific job with giving the film a unique look and a great deal of energy. The script holds your interest and you dare not look away for a second for fear that you will miss the next shocking scene of violence....or the next great laugh! Congrats on the film Trevor King. Take it and run with it! Festival directors....get this scheduled now!

I don't know how 'they make Soprano's look like', but after witnessing this tragic shlock, Ed Wood's 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' looks like 'Blade Runner' to me. Instead of sending pathetically favorable reviews with ten stars to IMDb, his friends should be honest and tell 'auteur' Trevor King, that with a charisma of a used condom and a potato's sense of humor, without a clue about writing a screenplay and a lack of 'mise en scene', he shouldn't attempt on film-making or/and acting. To appear in a pathetic joke like this, Ray Wise and Andrew 'Wishmaster' Divoff must have been kidnapped, blackmailed for some reason and forced with a gun.
