2.0 out of 5 stars Aims low and hits its target, October 14, 2005

This review is from: Con Games [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This straight-to-video's modest budget is attested to by the fact that while most of the action is supposed to take place at a large state prison, this prison only seems to house about 12 inmates. The plot is that old but reliable one about a man posing as a prisoner so he can go "undercover" and solve a crime. The crime in this case is not especially interesting and it's resolved in much too pat a fashion. However, leading man Tommy Lee Thomas looks good with his shirt off, (though he seems too small to be throwing his weight around), and there's a torture scene, (modeled on the one in "Lethal Weapon"), in which he's hanged by his wrists and zapped with electric shocks. Mr. Thomas' performance may not be of Oscar caliber but he does know how to yell.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely awful!, August 29, 2008

This review is from: Con Games (DVD)

I will admit I purchased this DVD because I was in a hurry and thought it said Tommy Lee Jones. My mistake but I watched it anyway. There is NOTHING good about this movie. The acting is terrible. Local theater groups would have better actors than these folks. The guns sounded like pop guns and the lead character was just not believable. Since the star also produced it and wrote it...no wonder he had the lead. I'll bet the other guys were all relatives. Can't imagine finding that many bad actors for one movie.

This movie could've been something, had they gotten some real actors, a script and a director. Well, they didn't, and this movie is an embarassment to mankind.
