5.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, good storyline, August 11, 1999

This review is from: Illtown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched this movie on, I believe TMCw, DSS satellite TV. I liked this movie a lot. It had a lot more than just shooting, and crime. It actually has some good acting, and shows what it might be like to deal drugs. This movie has a lot of spiritual scenes, after somebody dies, the characters have guilt and visions. They don't like being drug dealers, and would like to get out of the business. Certain factors, such as "THE MAN"(Tony Danza) prevent that. I expected much less from Tony Danza, but he was superb. Much better than his performace in "Going Ape!" *****

This review is from: Illtown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie should be released on dvd because it is one of the best gang movies out there. The atmosphere is dark and mysterious and Michael Rappaport and Lily Taylor are at their absolute best. I don't want to spoil it for people who have not seen this movie but it is worth the $$ if you have a good working VHS player. I promise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metaphorical Directing, January 6, 2000

This review is from: Illtown [VHS] (VHS Tape)

the whole movie, i found to be so slow-paced (that's what makes it so deep). it calms you with its thoughtful conversations and metaphorical images. it jolts you when you see an act of violence. stand-out stars: Tony Danza! this movie shows how underrated movie stars are. danza gives an oscar-worthy performance. nick gomez uses the camera to bring meaning and art to the miserable lives of two major drug dealers.

IT'S A MUST SEE MOVIE FOR ANY DAVID LYNCH FAN!
