Black Rose

Tons of potential, but watchable. Don't know what happened. Laughable at times unintentionally I'm sure.

I can't believe how boring this movie is. The acting was bad, the chemistry was bad, the script was dull. The plot was a good one they should have been able to do more than they did with it.Blood and gore alone do not make a great action/mystery movie (or apparently even a good one). I could not wait for it to be over.

Trendsetter Aleksandr Nevsky brings yet another engaging, action- filled movie to the big screen. Its name is «Black Rose». This is not typical average-quality action film like «The Expendables» or «The Terminator» it is top-notch motion picture.

When LAPD is completely powerless against a sadistic sociopathic killer, it calls up to invite Russian specialist major Kazatov (Aleksandr Nevsky). LAPD had this series of murders investigated by Kazatov.

This film served as great entertainment with its breath-taking sceneries of affluent Los Angeles. I really loved Kazatov punishment style, because this guy doesn't afraid to break the rules and he never gives criminals a chance to live. For example, the moment when major used a «Desert Eagle» to shoot for five times at a thief handbags. In addition, Nevsky used actors that had either appeared in his previous movies like «Treasure Riders» or «Moscow Heat».

Overall, this is a great movie with an excellent action and the god most loved actor. Furthermore, in a newsworthy press release I read that Nevsky is going to make a follow-up to «Black Rose».

'The Room' has a new contender. I love bad movies, and this one takes it to a whole new level. Bad writing, cinematography, editing, and TERRIBLE acting.

Starring the director/producer, Alexander Nevsky, who can barely speak English. His acting is so wooden I think the blue fairy JUST turned him into a real boy. Co-stars Kristanna Loken, she played that Terminator 3 robot who never spoke(Perfect casting after seeing this movie). The director also gave his girlfriend, Oksana Sidorenko, a bit part. Probably because everyone else read the script. Adrian Paul(star of the Highlander tv show), and Robert Davi did alright considering the script and complete lack of understandable direction.

The movie was 83 minutes long, but with all the completely random b-roll and unnecessary sequences it could be 30 minutes long. It's as if the editor decided that half the movie was unwatchable and cut it out. Then said to somebody, "Stick a camera out a car window and drive around. That'll fill up some time!" One example: In the beginning he visits the ocean for 5 minutes and then it never comes up again. Why did he stare at seagulls 5 minutes?!

All and all, this is one of the worse movies I've ever seen. A great example of how not to make a movie. And that is why it's worth watching.

Com'on people. At least the photography was excellent. Bad script. Acting sans direction or self restraint. But good grief -- does it really deserve all this opprobrium? Shots and angles were often admirable. They found scenes and settings that were quite interesting and occasionally terrific. ... On the other hand, a stage name duplicating the cultural hero of the Russ is deserving of The Donald's approval and accents comparable to Branagh's Shadow Recruit choice are cringe-worthy. Just imagine what people not super self-conscious of being C-lister's could have done with the idea here.
