Sadly Over-hyped

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The first thing that strikes me about Ready 2 Die is how well director John Azpilicueta utilizes limited resources and makes this feel like it had a much bigger budget than it probably did. The cinematographer in particular places you right in the action, as if you're a character in the film getting pulled through the action. This documentary feel was a smart choice for the story, as it ups the intensity, especially in the action scenes (which include one of the best car chase sequences I've seen in a long time). Not all of the acting is top notch, and there are some sound problems that would prevent this film from landing a perfect score, but there's enough good about it that it ranks as "very good- excellent" and is more than worth the watch.

I ticked the "spoiler" box simply because saying this movie is a disgrace to any movie of any genre is giving the entire movie away.The only reason I watched this flick was because I used to own a 67 Cougar and given the advertising is all about the car I watched assuming the car played the main role....for all intents and purposes it would have been more interesting if the movie focused on a dead still 1967 Cougar for 80 minutes and went no further then that other then to roll the end credits.All I can say about positive reviews on this movie is the people who wrote positive reviews must have had something to do with the movie and wrote favorable reviews to try and increase its sales / distribution.However all they have done is increase an audience that will tell it like it is, and that is BLOODY HORRIFIC.The script is dire, the actors (if you can call them that) are dire, the makeup is laughable, the drawn on tattoos are horrible, the wounds that are literally peeling off are a joke, this movie has NOTHING going for it, the supposed car chase is clearly done at the speed limit and is nothing but a boring laughable introduction to a movie that goes no further then the beginning as it is the same all the way through....laughable.I would usually say something like 'if you don't believe me have a look for yourself' but I will beg you to please DON"T LOOK, this movie is not worth the $10.00 budget it was shot with, in fact I'm pretty sure they would have had change from that $10.00.Please I beg you, don't watch this movie, not now not ever, a total waste of 80 minutes of my life that I wish I could have back.I would have given this movie a zero but IMDb wont allow it so it gets one star too many, and I'm sure others who were silly enough to go through the torture of watching this TOTAL CRAP would agree with me.WOEFUL! 1/10

So I saw a decent rating on this film om IMDb and thought to myself "Hey, it is only 80 minutes long and sounds interesting...why not?" HUGE MISTAKE!!!! This movie has so many Grand Theft Auto clichés that I truly think the writers of the movie/script played the game while coming up with material. Stereotypical thugs rob banks and flee from the police but at no time do they seem to be worried/threatened. Word gets out about the money they have. The dialogue is BEYOND horrible. Junior high kids talk about better things. Shot on a low budget with low expectations.The only reason why it gets a 2 is because the getaway car is pretty cool. The camera work sucks The acting looks worse than a junior high school play. They did manage to have a few explosions but even those looked cheezy.At no point in time do you feel any sympathy for the "good guys" (use that term loosely, after all, they brag about shooting innocent women). I found myself hoping they would get killed just so it would be OVER! After 60 minutes of watching, I literally was laughing at how horrible the plot was and why the hell I was still watching. If you make it that far, you deserve some kind of award.AVOID!

Worst movie I've seen in ages. High School kids could have done a better job filming this in my opinion. The film looked like it was shot on a fifty dollar budget. I had a house full of people that wanted to burn the movie after the first twenty minutes. I couldn't help but semi watch it to the end do to the fact it was like an accident, You couldn't look away. The video was choppy and the special affects were nothing less than school kid antics. How anyone could even market this film is beyond me but it obviously caught someone's attention. It has the usual makings of a action film, sex, violence, murder and car chases and it still didn't meet my expectations or the expectations of my peers. Im really having a hard time summing this one up but don't take my word for it give it a look for yourself.
