IMDB

There is something a little odd about this movie. I didn't realize what it was until I just looked it up on IMDB to write this. This movie is directed by Larry Cohen (Phone Booth, Cellular, Q The Winged Serpent).
After his son is murdered in a drive by, NFL player John Bookman returns to Gary, Indiana (about 10 minutes from where I live) to avenge his death. He finds out that the gang he started were the ones that killed him. He teams up with some other over 40 year olds to take the gang down.
This movie is both stupid and boring. It starts out kind of silly, but slowly takes a turn for the boring. The acting is awful, the action is not exciting, the dialogue is atrocious and unrealistic. There is a scene where a gang member claims he is God. That was pretty funny, otherwise this movie is a waste of time.

3/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
