Gangstas and the Man, August 9, 2007
This review is from: Livin' Da Life 10 Movie Pack (DVD)
BRENTWOOD 10 Movie Packs offer a variety of cinematic genres at bargain prices. Video transfers of their "B" movies are pretty decent, as is sound. The manufacturer's hinged boxes house DVDs adequately, but be careful the hinged sections don't pull away from the main spine! They're not that easy to reassemble.
SYNOPSES for LIVIN' DA LIFE:
"Bang" - Four police officers are kidnapped by gang members who vow to kill one cop every hour.
"Black Cobra" - A gang leader pursues a photographer after she films a murder in progress.
"The Black Godfather" - A black crime boss takes on a white heroin cartel.
"Cut Up" - Police track a New Orleans serial killer who leaves messages at murder scenes.
"Dealin' Dirty" - Drug lords in L.A. play a dangerous game of life and death.
"The Murder Men" - Six black homicide detectives investigate the triple-murder of inner city gang members.
"Rage" - A series of killings, and the only clues are a gruesome mask and videotapes left at scenes by the murderer.
"Retribution" - The record industry as a jungle where survival of the fittest and dirtiest is the rule.
"Rockin' With A Bullet" - Another attempt to glorify and glamorize the gangsta lifestyle.
"South Bronx Heroes" Young children victimized by kiddie porn ring foster parents.
