2.0 out of 5 stars A Dreary Rehash of the Too Familiar Drugs/Gangster/Bad Cop Story, September 9, 2007
By Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Bobby Z (DVD)
How this story of freeing a deadly criminal from prison to act as a stand-in for an at large criminal (Bobby Z) to bring revenge and closure to corruption on every level of the playing field can continue to be reproduced ad infinitum will remain a puzzle. This tired, poorly acted, hyper kinetic desert film wastes the talent of some good actors, gives plenty of killings to watch, and then introduces counterfeit kindness as a reason for making the film, is a movie to avoid.

Paul Walker is the released Bobby Z look-alike who will be freed from his life in prison by Laurence Fishburne's cop image if he merely shows up in Mexico as bait for drug lord Joaquin de Almeida's hostage demands for Fishburne's partner. Of course it all goes wrong at the exchange point, allowing the fake Bobby Z to find a female interest (Olivia Wilde) as well as a little boy (J.R. Villarreal) who is supposedly the son of the real Bobby Z (and therefore is taken in by the fake Bobby Z), and the rest is just a messy chase sequence and series of killings and kidnappings. The bad guys outnumber the good guys, and, well the rest is yesterday's sandwich. Not recommended even if there is nothing else on the shelves to rent! Grady Harp, September 07

2.0 out of 5 stars Yawn, stretch, September 24, 2007
This review is from: Bobby Z (DVD)
Bobby z starring the great laurence fishburne is a tale of a dirty agent (fishburne) and of a convict (paul walker) that looks like the big time drug deler Bobby Z. i didn't really care for this movie because it was totally unbelievable and the plot was boring. It is another drug movie/crooked agent/mistaken identity movie. The real bobby z and walker didn't look anything alike to me, and the fight scenes just didn't look realistic to me. Once again blockbuster online saved me some money on this movie. I still wasted two hours of my life though.

First of all I didn't think that Paul Walker and Jason Lewis looked anything alike. The similarities stop at the blond hair and blue eyes. Read more
