4.0 out of 5 stars Durdy Game
This is a compelling drama that is an earnest depiction of how the sexes can betray each other. What sets this film apart from the rest is that it is based on a true chain of events. The lead characters are well developed and definitively identifiable. They are modeled after women that many of us know. These elements give the events of the movie a deeper feeling of...

3.0 out of 5 stars HOLLYWOOD IT'S NOT
This is not a Hollywood movie and therefore should not be judged by the same standards. In the music industry, you don't compare an album made by a band on a huge record label to an album made by a band on a small label. Therefore, I don't believe it's necessary to do it here. This movie is about three young ladies who are obviously frustrated with men. One of the ladies...

This is not a Hollywood movie and therefore should not be judged by the same standards. In the music industry, you don't compare an album made by a band on a huge record label to an album made by a band on a small label. Therefore, I don't believe it's necessary to do it here. This movie is about three young ladies who are obviously frustrated with men. One of the ladies convinces the other two that the best way to get revenge on men is to get their money. The way they chose to do this is to romance various men with a certain amount of wealth, scope out their houses and belongings then make plans to have someone else break in at a later date. I found the plot to be thin and unoriginal however I enjoyed how the actors portrayed each character. While none of the actors are A-list (or even B-list for that matter), I like their idiosyncrasies. Some of them over act while others don't do enough acting. To me, it makes for an interesting mix. The movie drags on for a certain amount of time without much happening while setting up the fall of the ladies "scam". I won't reveal exactly how that happens but let's just say that you reap what you sow. I must say that I didn't enjoy the soft porn aspect of this movie. In my opinion, it was just eye candy and that depends on the set of eyes viewing. But overall, the I did find this movie entertaining. Could I watch it multiple times? Well................

The lead characters are well developed and definitively identifiable. They are modeled after women that many of us know. These elements give the events of the movie a deeper feeling of reality that other films in its genre lack.

The menus on the DVD are highly stylized and I loved the addition footage. This is another element of the DVD that sets it apart from its competition. When it is all said and done this is one of the best stories of the power of karma in recent years. Viewers may quite possibly think twice about committing their next durdy action. Thumbs UP!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for straight to Video, February 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Durdy Game (DVD)
Although this movie was low budget it was very entertaining.The lack of acting ablilty is balanced by the eye candy provided by the central characters.I liked the movie and a lot of my friends do to.This movie can be a "Hood Classic" if marketed right, it already has a buzz on the streets of DC.I would definetly like to see more from Modymod, this movie has sparked interest.For the fellas its definetly a must!

This review is from: Durdy Game (DVD)
A very compelling story about three friends living three different life styles, playing the 'game'. As they say, What goes around, comes around. I loved it. I recomend it highly.

A new Black director on the rise, I see that Mody-Mod will be a household name in no time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad indie., November 1, 2005
This review is from: Durdy Game (DVD)
I was in the video store looking for a movie. I pretty much saw everything in the store (I am a huge movie buff). Anyway, I notice this movie "Durty Game". The cover had three very sexy black women. I new from reading the back of the cover that this was an indie (the cover came off as non-hollywood). The story synopsis wasn't original, but I wanted to watch a movie and it didn't look boring. So I rented it. Me and my girlfriend watched this movie right after watching a big special effects Hollywood movie and we enjoyed "Durty Game" more!

This movie does not have big fancy stunts, gunplay, or special effects. There are no A-list stars featured either. HOWEVER, the story played out very well and the dialogue between the girls was very entertaining. And the sex scenes were hot too. The DVD has extended sex scenes in the deleted scenes special feature section for those interested.

In short. The dialogue was funny. The situations messed up. And the ending, all I can say is - Karma is a bi**ch!

The girls are the reason why I rented this movie. All though unknown, they are sexy enough to carry a movie, which these three women do very well. The acting is bad in some parts, mostly during argument scenes. But not too bad that you can't get into the movie. If you like hood movies, and this is a "hood" movie- sex, drugs, money, cars, women, clubs, guns, etc.. then this is worth the watch. If you're from the hood, you can definitely relate. If not...check it out anyway. You might learn something.

One.

3.0 out of 5 stars this movie was actually good for 5 dollars at walmart....., March 4, 2005

This review is from: Durdy Game (DVD)
as the consumer that i am, i went through walmart and they had a movie bin filled with 5 dollar movies. this movie called "durdy game" popped up and it looked interesting (plus i remembered one of the chicks from BABY BOY)....so i bought it...it was kind of on the cheap side just because the way it was shot but the story line was actually not bad...

basically it is about 3 independent women that have to make a living and get theirs. but they soon realize that getting theirs has its price to pay....

the acting was not the best but you can kind of relate to the characters and they do make an effort to show a little depth....

if you wanna watch something on budget and will satisfy your crave for movies get this....

3.6 stars out of 5

5.0 out of 5 stars A+++++, January 13, 2003
By 
Urban Diva "Tina :)" (Belleville, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Durdy Game (DVD)
Okay so the movie was not worthy of any Oscar nominations, I still think that it should be applauded. Some scenes where slow, but you can get past that to find what the writer was trying to say, title is proof. I look forward to seeing future projects from Mody Mod films(Hopefully experience will allow room for growth). If you appreciate art and respect the attempts of a budding film company, you will definitely like this movie. If you don't I hope that you understand that it takes a few times before a craft is truly perfected. Be patient! This movie gets an A for effort!
