2.0 out of 5 stars I Saw It for Free on TV....and even that was Too Expensive !!!, August 25, 2010

The Jaundiced Eye (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alphabet City (DVD)

These comments are directed at the movie itself, as a review should be, and not at the service from Amazon or the pretty colors of the DVD label, etc. etc.

This movie is often shown late at night on free TV channels along with a bunch of other really lousy movies featuring titles and actors you never heard of. At the time I wrote this review, it was available for $3.98 from Amazon. How much more evidence do you need indicating just how lousy it is? The acting is amateurish, the plot is absurd, the background music and noise are reminiscent of a garage band playing in a noisy factory, and every scene is clouded in heavy smoke, possibly to conceal the complete lack of production values. Run down old buildings are inexplicably bathed in brightly colored pink, blue, and violet lights, making each of the many, many wide shots look like a trip to Disneyland. This is in direct opposition to the tough, gritty atmosphere that the director should create, and typical of the overall silliness of this production.

There are a million reasons why this movie is a waste of time, and I won't bore you with any more. Simply consider the evidence above, save your $3.98, and if you just can't live without seeing just how bad it is: drink lots of coffee and stay up late, tuned to one of those grade-Z TV channels that shows lousy, cheap old movies all night.....and you can suffer through this truly awful production for free. Misery shouldn't cost money.

This review is from: Alphabet City (DVD)

The only thing worth watching in the movie is the Cool Trans Am in many scenes,and the guy from Police Academy.The movie is slow paced and the whole leather 21 jump street thing and plot is predictable.
