Down
And Dangerous 7/10
There
will be some spoilers. I needed more sweat, some flashbacks, more
shouting, and three more chokeslams. I finally got around to checking
out the movie Down And Dangerous. Its a movie where no one can be
trusted. For some reason I tend to watch movies full of shady ass
humans and this was no exception. John T. Woods stars as a drug
smuggler named Paul Boxer, running between L.A and Mexico. Was it
really filmed there? I don't fucking know. I've never been. If you
took a photo in Pasadena and told me it was Mexico I'd believe you.
Anyhoot, his partner ends up getting shot by a crooked ass agent and
Paul goes on the hunt for him.
He
ends up teaming with a lady that he used to be with years ago named
Olivia played by Paulie Rojas. She is hot and proves that I'm not
just into thick women. I don't trust her. She is dating this crazy
ass cartel leader and cartel leaders are always scumbags. The police
also want Paul's help in taking down the drug ring because cops are
lazy and always show up after the hard part is handled.
I
liked the music in this movie but would've liked more silent moments.
It seemed a bit too loud at times. I liked the fights and was happy
that after the first scene in which someone is shot in the car that
there are no more CGI blood scenes. The physical fights were good but
there were a few guys that looked afraid to throw a punch or take
one. There was a chokeslam done by Paul that made me cheer because I
don't care what the situation is, if there is a fight in a movie and
someone busts out a wrestling move I will cheer the shit out of it. I
mentioned needing more sweat. There are some scenes in the desert and
I wanna feel how miserable it is. I didn't. You put a bag over my
head and tell me that we're going to Whole Foods I'm gonna be
sweating balls. Put one over my head and drive me to the desert with
a gun to my head my face won't be the only thing wet. What I'm saying
is I'll pee in your car with no shame whatsoever.
I feel
that there is more that can be done with the character of Paul even
if you just shave the guy and say it is five years earlier to show
how he got to this point and why he is so good at what he does. Where
did he come from? How did he meet Olivia and why did he leave her?
How'd he meet his friend that was shot? Why doesn't he use guns? When
did Judd Nelson start to look like such a badass? Oh, the questions!
I'm just nitpicking. I liked this movie. Check it out.
