Pretty Bad: For Jolie Fans Only - And Then That's Pushing It,
By turtlex "turtlex" (PA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hell's Kitchen (DVD)
I'm an Angelina Jolie fan - have been for years, however...this movie is pretty bad. And not a good kind of bad, but plain old bad. Bad story, bad writing, bad acting, bad lighting, bad looping, bad editing. Get the idea? What it comes down to is - The story stumbles around all over itself and unfortunately, Angelina isn't that good in it. She pouts a lot and tries real hard to project angst, but that's not worth the cost of a purchase. Your local video store probably has a couple of copies of this in stock - I suggest you rent it before you consider buying it - even for the die hard Jolie fan. If you're a completist - and just need to own/have everything Angelina Jolie has been in - okay, then it's a must have, otherwise - pass on it.Best Regards, turtlex

Life beats you down, but you gotta get up again.,
By "godlessgrl" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hell's Kitchen (DVD)
After a robbery goes bad, Gloria's(Jolie) brother dies and Johnny(Phifer) is taken to prision for 5 years.When he is released, Gloria seeks the skills of her chaotic boyfriend Boyle(Whitworth) to kill Johnny. Boyle knows the truth about her brother's dealth and doesn't have the nerve to kill Johnny. Johnny tries turning his life around and becomes a very sucessful boxer.This movie does an excellent job of showing how people ending up handling those tragic events that most of us hear about on the news. The death of a friend rehabilitates some, while driving others deeper into obscurity. There are some cool sound effects in certain parts of the movie that help you to feel the craziness experienced by each character. The ending was a bit too "Hollywood everything's great now", fortunately it didn't ruin the movie.

Almost impossible-not to see!,

This review is from: Hell's Kitchen (DVD)
This movie is dark at times-but it lightens up at the end. It has a somewhat street smart, and disturbing messege to it, and it shows how one mistake can effect everyone's life. The characters are all basically confused on what to do next, after what happend-but it shows how their life was crushed, and they try to rebuild their future-in the dark world they live in. Some suceed-others don't. You obviouly know Angelina Jolie is featured in this film, and in my point of view-shines in her roll as the recovering sister to the whole incedent of tragedy. This film is well directed, and the storyline is enriched with color-even though its all dark.
