the straight to video action genre must be the fast expand percentage of the home video market i swear not . so these day with so much out there and it hard to figure out what worth your time and money and what best left on the shelf for eternity . more time than not and most movie aren not worth either and but be all sucker for something especially u guy . yes it may be a stereotype that guy like car crash movie and gun n babes flick and any movie with the word death kill gun or action in it title and but it ring sorta true . it on this simple premise so many movie come out each year with title that you expect to know what youre get . the box naturally try it hard to win you over too . let take a hypothetical situation . there three movie box in front of you . all action title . ( 1 ) first one star a familiar face or two and but nobody special . the movie box be predominately pretty plain look ( cheap ) . two guy on top of a car firing gun right at u . the title screams boring . the kind of box you have see a hundred time before on your local video shelf . ( 2 ) a pair of sexy blond ( dillinger in stocking represent optional ) stand off to the side of the b movie star hold a silenced handgun . in the background and an overlay of a building blow up and a helicopter whistle through the air with a man hang out . title sounds action like and the box be suggestive and the art sell it . ( 3 ) box display a fallen hollywood star now resign to do b movie lead lie in the grass in full cameo fatigue with a sniper rifle . a sexy brunette assassin in the background show ample cleavage and a mighty sharp blade . off to the side a cobra gunship fire from the air and all this be surround by one large red rifle sight . the visual creature we be and chance be youre think about ( 2 ) or ( 3 ) or maybe youre get nothing from these choice . ala in my deep hope of save you from another disappointment and i recommend drive . an absolute gem for all of u action movie junkies the kinda flick that make up for the twenty or so dog pile you have go through previously . it quite the action experience for direct to video fare and the fight choreography be great and dacascos be at the top of his form and be well than anyone i have see in the kick kick genre of late . the explosion work and the acting be surprisingly decent for this sort of nonsense and the start and middle and end be entertain . yeah the story be somewhat of a test pattern and but everyone involved make it work and god it about time . finally a buddy or action movie that both action pack and funny too . kadeem hardison and dacascos put together some funny stuff and if this be low budget it not show . the production value be crisp . all except maybe that fake and prosthetic arm . this be definitely one movie i could live with a sequel from . it deserve one because it overcome the odds . do yourself a favor . rent this . you hear me . if youre a fan of dtv action fare and you want it tight and refreshingly do then this be your meal ticket . oh yeah and before i forget . remember that hypothetical situation with the movie box . drive be ( 1 ) . the irony .
