    watch it!

    I watched this movie yesterday and I enjoyed it. All the actors were great. Dana Delany played a successful woman that preferred work to everything else in her life till her ex-husband was killed by 2 cops. Right after she found out that justice is no longer by her side, she decides to make her own justice. I've never seen this actress before but I think that there should be more actresses like her - pure and emotional. Justin Theroux was even better. It's a pity that the director didn't do more with such great performances!!! That's the only flaw in this movie. Also they put too much philosophy into the script. It should have been in the context, not in the text itself.. Anyway - watch it!

    Ugh, junk

    Man, I've seen some bad movies with attemps at pretensions, but this one takes the cake. The premise is this: white wife attempts to avenge her black husband who was shot by a white cop after they're caugh getting jiggly with it in their car, parked under a bridge, in the dead of night. What's worst, when it looks like the cop is racist and obviously begins harassing them for no other reason than it's a white woman with a black man, the couple starts getting indignant and openly refuses the cop's most basic commands.

    Look, I'm a minority, and I've been in more than one traffic stops, and I DO EVERYTHING the cops tell me, because I know they'll throw my ass in jail just for messing with them. But our power couple here (she's an exec and he's a professor) thinks they're special -- actually, the screenplay treats them as special (I don't know, maybe because they're a mixed couple? Who knows.) and flat out starts messing with an obviously racist cop. The husband gets shot. The wife goes out for vengeance. Whatever.

    Good premise, but terrible execution. Screenplay is full of soap box speeches and moments. Go see SLAM or JUNGLE FEVER if you want actual portrayals of white-black relationships. This one is just beyond comprehension.

    an average movie, but far from the bad reviews other people have given it

    ignore the other users comments and watch it yourself. im not saying its a great movie, but it has enough interesting scenes to make it a 'watch whilst im doing something else' movie.

    and then of course there is dana delany who cant help getting into leather coat and gloves...

    Good performance by Dana Delaney

    I have a new appreciation for Dana Delaney after both this role and her role in the movie Tombstone. I reviewed her other roles on this database and was surprised that I have seen so few of her performances to date. I wish I knew if it were her movie choices or a combination of the opportunities given her. I think she is a very under-rated actress, and wish I had seen more of her. Alas, I will enjoy watching her in Sirens or in Tombstone, in my opinion, her best performances - that I have seen anyway. Oh, and unlike the previous post, I don't feel the premise of the movie is that far off base. Without a plot, you don't really have a movie, now, do you.

    Dumb!

    "Sirens" is all about Delany as is a top corporate exec who sets out to get the cop who shot her ex-husband to death during a routine street incident. The film's premise has merit and even the story has potential. However, the execution is an abomination with huge, gaping plot holes at every juncture. Young asks us to swallow huge portions of nonsense as we see everything from police procedure to human nature malformed to fit an awkward, unbelievable, and amateurish screenplay poorly concealed by a thin varnish of trite Hollywoodistics. From its dumb title to its lame conclusion where small talk is interjected between credits, "Sirens" is a good film to miss. (D+)
