Hollywood Flies (2005)

the audience applauded

Must See Movie...

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Brothers Martina and Luca travel from Las Vegas to Hollywood. Along the way they meet two convicts and Cherie a showgirl who flees his representative. The convicts kidnap Martina and force Luca to carry a 3 million bag. Hollywood Flies is one of those films that you know that it's going to suck but i didn't expect it to suck that much. The acting is average, the story doesn't exist and the film is full of stupid decisions made by stupid characters especially that girl Cherie played Caprice Bourret has the personality of a potato and don't get me start on Vinnie Jones awful performance i mean seriously who told him to become an actor? Overall if you like films like this or any of this actors you might enjoy the movie i don't know how? But you might but for everyone else? Just stay away!!

Review: My expectations for this movie, really wasn't that high but it turned out to be a watchable film, which has different story lines running at the same time but they don't really join up. I personally found the acting pretty poor and the whole project had a cheap feel to it, like most of Vinnie Jones movies but I did stick with the film because I was intrigued about what was going to happen to Luca, (Antonio Cupo), who was fighting to save his kidnapped sister, Martina (Bianca Guaccero). Caprice's character, Cherie, was pretty useless and she seemed to cause trouble were ever she went but I was surprised with Vinnie Jones acting, which was better than the rest of the cast. As usual, he was playing the cockney hard man, who was the main culprit for kidnapping Martina but he actually was showing some form of acting skills which you don't see in his movies nowadays. Anyway, you can tell that the director had a low budget because of its poor casting and "dumb criminals" type concept but I have seen worse for films in this category. Passable!Round-Up: This "straight to DVD" movie was directed by Fabio Segatori, who has mainly made movies for an Italian market. It did seem like he over complicated the movie, in some ways but I still enjoyed watching Vinnie Jones dancing. I doubt that I will be watching this movie again anytime soon but on the plus side, I didn't fall asleep whilst watching it.I recommend this movie to people who are into their crime/drama starring Antonio Cupo, Bianca Guaccero, Casper Van Dien, Caprice Bourret, Vinnie Jones and Brad Renfro. 3/10

Not the worst movie (Gerry) I've ever seen... if you've got an hour and a half or so to burn late at night then go for it.Vinnie Jones owns this movie. His character was the only one with any real fire. Without him this would have been a total sleeper.Brad Renfro was weak. I mean his character was weak, but I don't think it should have been that weak. Maybe this was due to the director...I thought the script and the story was weak. The scenery was good. I'm big on scenery. Would have been better (from a guy's perspective) with a bit of brief nudity. I mean I think in the context of this film it was expected so it left the feeling that something was missing. Not a big thing really but this film wasn't a big thing either.I thought Bianca Guaccero was good. She was/is not only quite beautiful but she did a very good job with what she had to work with.I wasn't impressed by Caprice Bournet at all. She is pretty and I guess they needed another pretty face. But they could of put just about anyone else in place of her without any problem.I agree with a previous poster. This movie started out with promise, then just kinda fell flat.Late at night if you can't sleep or if you got nothing better to do and there's nothing else on this would be a better bet than something like Kinky Kong or some lame, soft snore Sinemax garbage.But that doesn't say much does it?

I rented this movie only because I wanted to see Caprice act.. Even though on her website.. She is a model/actress/TV Presenter/spokesmodel and the rest..I was watching this movie.. I must admit, it was all getting good and then it all went stale.. You got 2 bank robbers (VINNIE JONES and BRAD RENFO) kipnapping some girl (BIANCA GUACCERO) as they take some place and leave her for ransom. They tell this guy (ANTONIO CUPO) to deliver them their money or his Sister dies.. Along the way, comes another girl (CAPRICE) who happens to get involved as well.. But later on..? Well, you do the maths..I gotta hand it to you.. It's one of those sleazy type thrillers where you feel you're gonna get drawn to it. But then again.. you might bored with it. I got bored with it.. Somehow I didn't know where this film is taking the viewer.. It sounds there are parts of the film that I was really familiar with.. but it just keeps running out of steam at times..I don't know how this director Franco Segatori was trying to do here.. But it seems he put a good cast in a down low dirty shame of a script. However, it wasn't really up to my satisfaction in the end..Well, as for this Caprice gets a 7/10 for her acting.. The director gets 5/10 for his bit. The film gets a dismal 3/10Not my cup of tea..!
