Throwdown (2014)

Wonderfully offbeat film!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Which doesn't really save the movie or make it really that much better, I'm just stating the obvious I reckon. But it was nice seeing some of them. Mischa Barton might have fallen from Grace (and OC) a long time ago, but others make good contributions to movies from time to time. Giving Danny Trejo a machete to wield in this, might be a neat trick, but doesn't really help too.Actually some might feel offended by him (or his character for that matter) doing that. It's just a movie, but you can't capture magic (or machetes) in a bottle like this. The movie is predictable as could be expected and there is a very good looking dark haired beauty in this, if you care about such a thing. It might be the only thing to get excited about in this movie ...

This movie had real potential. A few decent actors, some sweet eye candy here and there, but most of the actors are slow on the uptake, dull expressions and without any character. The plot is so predictable, the main character so flaccid that it is difficult to have any sympathy for him. Only Vinnie comes through as the psychotic tough guy he usually plays. Obviously a role close to his heart. The camera angles are also very derivative and the shaky camera effect, designed to hopefully build tension, is completely numbing and gave me a headache. I don't know how the movie ended because I couldn't even fast forward to the finish, it was so bad. The only element keeping it out of very bad territory is Vinnie and the eye candy. Do not waste your time! Skip it. Honestly!

Review: This film was awful. After getting over how cheap the movie looked, and the terrible soundtrack, I was hoping that the storyline was going to be half interesting but that was a disappointment as well. As usual, Vinnie Jones is playing the thug who wants to revenge the murder of his son so he asks a lawyer to try his best to release the accused murderer so he can take his own revenge. With the help of the accused sister, they find out that her brother actually didn't kill Vinnie s son and that he was protecting his lover, who was Vinnies son's girlfriend, so they plot to take down Vinnie and his crooked bunch. They also get the help from Luke Goss (from Bros) whose an private investigator with a drinking habit but he isn't really in the film that much. Anyway, the acting was really bad, especially from the leading actor, played by Timothy Woodward Jr., who also directed the movie. The storyline was straight forward but the director made a mess of it. At the end of the day, it's just another low budget movie from Trejo and Jones which should have gone straight to VHS except for DVD. Rubbish!Round-Up: I would love to know whose funding these awful movies because they must have money to burn. I wasn't expecting that much from the film because of the cast and the fact that the advert looked cheap but I thought that I would give it a go, which was a bad mistake. Trejo is waving his machete around like a mad man, as usual and Vinnie Jones is playing the usual cockney hard man, which we have seen many times before. Anyway, the movie was a total waste of time and money and I really can't find anything positive to say about this cheap attempt at a gangster movie.I recommend this movie to people who are into their cheap thriller/drama movies about a lawyer who has to release a prisoner so a gangster can revenge his brothers death. 1/10

Yup, this movie blows. It's a B movie with a few A stars in the cast. I hate watching a movie and realizing it's terrible but am so invested I have to see how it ends, and then being even more disappointed. I can't believe Danny Trejo and Vinnie Jones would even accept roles in this. Their characters are bad. If you don't believe me watch it and you'll see what I mean. The plot is so weak and B movie it's sad. So many holes and horrible character development. Ugh. Destined to be a forgotten movie. The attempts to fill the plot up sucked and were weaker than watered down beer. I highly recommend skipping this movie, you can thank me later. If you watched it and agree with me then I'm sorry you didn't listen to me and that's all on you.
