4.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned suspense, May 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Count [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Throwing 5 unlikely, and seemingly incompatible actors together to make such a serious and somewhat suspenseful could be called miraculous, I call it good directing. This movie gives you a chance to grow attached to the characters, no matter how greedy they might be. And the ending, surpisingly, caught me off guard.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of, if not the best movie I've ever seen!, March 3, 2003

One word. Three letters.
WOW!
This movie has it all. A great cast, an explosive story, and wonderful plot.
John Leguizamo is absolutely amazing. And David Caruso has never been better.
Now if it were only available on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action Heist, August 3, 2009

This review is from: Body Count [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The movie really got me going. It had action, suspense and drama all mixed into the same movie. The cast was explosive and had great chemistry together.

Never has the quote "There is no honor among thieves" been more appropriate! Read Leonard Maltin's 1999 or 2000 Movie Review to get the gist of this movie.

Unfortunately haters like Gary (See His One Star Review Then Forget You Read It) seem to mix up fantasy with reality. The movie did not advocate the death of police officers, it was just an unintended consequence of the thieves going from point A to point B. See the similar movie One False Move for a comparison. The scene was necessary for the plotline to continue. Never mind that the "crew" started killing each other as well, so there were no "winners" in the end.

Like Adam Shoemaker, I highly reccomend this flick. I too wish it would be released onto DVD. My suspicion is that cop lovers like Gary and the conservative suits fear a backlash from places (Deep South & Southwest) that can't seperate imagination from reality. What a shame to see censorship suppressing creativity.
