VHS Movie Reviews of Three Strikes [VHS]
Movie Review: Deserves Life in the bargain bin with no chance of purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
3 Strikes...this puerile comedy about a two-time felon trying to avoid a life sentence was DOA from the opening frame. A screenplay full of stock characters and stock South Central jokes make a poor commentary on the California Justice System. In my three attempts to watch this movie all the way through I wound up turning it off around the thirty-minute mark each time.
To make a story like this work, you have to feel for the main character. Unfortunately he has no good qualities. He makes no efforts to do anything worthwhile. Getting out of jail, he goes back to doing the same things that got him locked up. In his attempts to clear himself he spends most of the movie doing a bunch of unfunny things that are supposed to be funny. I just can't laugh at car chases and shootouts in the inner city when so many young men and women die this way in real life. I can't laugh about a man throwing his life away going in and out of the prison system. To me, that's not a comedy. It's a tragedy. And the attempt to make this situation into comedy produces a movie bad it's criminal. It deserves life in the $5.99 Discount DVD bin right next to Ghost Dad and Nora's Hair Salon with no possibility of purchase.
Movie Review: YOUR AVERAGE GHETTO COMEDY MOVIE
Summary: 2 Stars
A CONVICT [BRIAN HOOKS] IS RELEASED FROM PRISON. HOWEVER, HE'S BEEN PLACED UNDER THE THREE STRIKES RULE AND HE'S ALREADY WENT TO JAIL TWICE! WHEN HE'S PICKED UP BY HIS HOMEBOY, HIS HOMEBOY GETS INTO A SHOOTOUT WITH THE COPS AND NOW THE COPS ARE ALSO AFTER HIM AGAIN! UNFORTUNATELY FOR THIS MOVIE, THE FUNNY MOMENTS TEND TO BE SCARCE. BRIAN HOOKS IS OK, BUT THIS MOVIE COULD'VE USED FUNNIER CHARACTERS AS WELL AS A BETTER SCRIPT. LOOK AT ''FRIDAY'' INSTEAD.Movie Review: One of Brian Hooks best.
Summary: 5 Stars
I guess this is one of those movies that either you get it or you dont. I enjoyed this movie very much, it left me in stitches. I dont know why it got dissed so hard. As for the people complaining about it black exploitation...... get a grip its comedy not a dramma. Its the 2k decade if we cant laugh at ourselves who can we laugh at?!! I think you can sit back with ya girl or chill with ya man and get a good laugh out of this movie. Thats why I give it 5 stars.Movie Review: I actually would give it 3 1/2 stars...
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has humor in it, it's not "intelligent" humor, no it's actually pretty low brow. But, that doesn't make it un-funny. Brian Hooks plays his part wonderfully. And George Wallas, as his father, is perfection. This movie wasn't made to be the greatest ghetto comedy ever. People have to high expectations, they need to just enjoy this movie for what it is. A Silly, stupid, "black" comedy. It's good for some chuckles.Movie Review: FUNNY MOVIE.
Summary: 5 Stars
