Format:DVD
This is indeed the best action movie of 2000. Even though it was not realeased in theatre's, it is clearly a great action film. As the film opens, an undercover cop watches his partner blown away in an undercover deal gone bad. He quits the department and leaves to be with his girlfriend who has given him a second chance, but along the way, he gets shot at, chased, and winds up wanted by police and a gang of assassins who think he's someone else. By the time the film ends, you've seen a great action movie with a good plot. Thats usually hard to find.

A Better Way To Die is a action-packed,dark-comedy about a ex-chicago-cop named "Boomer" who quits the force after his partner is killed in a undercover drug bust by ruthless gangters, and desides to go up north to wire things up with his estranged girlfriend, but on the way he gets robbed,shot at,beaten,framed,and his girlfriend killed in the process, and is mistakenly identified as a missing FBI agent the Chicago mob and corrupt FBI agents are trying to track down which leads Boomer to a quest of bloodshed and revenge.
A Better Way to die is the best action-packed film of the year 2000, and its dark humor and hilarious gun fights and won't leave viewers disapointed. I highly recommend A BETTER WAY TO DIE.

Boomer (Scott Wiper) is tired of all the violence in his job and the city that he lives in. He decides to quit the police force and return home to a small town and his girlfriend (Natasha Henstridge). On the way home he is mistaken for a government operative and becomes the target of several hitmen and a government agent (Lou Diamond Phillips).
After reading nothing but great reviews everywhere I looked, I decided to finally pick up this movie and I was not disappointed. This is a movie all action fans will love. There is also a great plot and the story serves up several twists and turns. The great thing is not many of them are predictable. This film was written, directed and stars Scott Wiper. He has also put together a great cast including Andre Braugher, Joe Pantoliano, Natasha Henstridge and Lou Diamond Phillips. I can't wait to see more of his work.
The DVD is presented in 16 X 9 anamorphic Widescreen and in DD 5.1 surround. The only downside it that there is not much in the way of suppliments. There is a commentary by Scott Wiper and the theatrical trailer.

I loved this movie when I first saw it on HBO many years ago. Joe Pantoliano plays a great oddball character, but the real reason I had to have it is the great Andre Braugher... Read more
