Black Rose

Com'on people. At least the photography was excellent. Bad script. Acting sans direction or self restraint. But good grief -- does it really deserve all this opprobrium? Shots and angles were often admirable. They found scenes and settings that were quite interesting and occasionally terrific. ... On the other hand, a stage name duplicating the cultural hero of the Russ is deserving of The Donald's approval and accents comparable to Branagh's Shadow Recruit choice are cringe-worthy. Just imagine what people not super self-conscious of being C-lister's could have done with the idea here.

Tons of potential, but watchable. Don't know what happened. Laughable at times unintentionally I'm sure.

Time flew by as it kept my attention, enjoyed watching it.

Everything about this film is rotten - the story, the script, the direction, editing, music, effects, acting, lighting, pace, action scenes, background scenes, link scenes, scenery in general ... Oh hang on, there is one plus point: the actors are very well dressed, well groomed.

Nothing like any LA police I've ever seen though.

It's a direct to video release. If you're looking for an Oscar winner, look elsewhere. I saw it on Netflix. Reminded of the slew of bad action movies I enjoyed renting back in the 80's and 90's.To wit, I am known as the king of bad movies. Love 'em. I enjoyed it for what it is. A bit low budget. Not as gory as some reviews would lead you to believe. I will say this, if the the star, Alexander Nevsky, could lose the heavy Russian accent, he'd make a helluva lot more sense as Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise.
