Konterr Brilliant and touching
bruce7196 I heard a radio review of this movie stating it was really good, also made mention that the hit man made the movie. This is the most horrible movie I have ever seen...and I have seen some bad ones. This was not even a campy movie it just had really bad acting...actually I think I just insulted all actors because you could go to your local walmart and randomly pick a few people and make a better movie with your iphone. This movie was made in Texas I heard...I have lived in Texas all my life and after seeing it I feel I should move to another state. I guess the real joke is on me because I actually bought a copy of it off amazon after hearing the reviews. The good news is I only paid 2 dollars.
rgblakey HTTP://www.examiner.com/movie-in-dallas/bobby-blakey Ever since Grindhouse hit theaters it has caused a resurgence of this genre of filmmaking. Some work and others not so much, but for the most part have created a whole new genre of entertainment if you get it. The latest to come along Cherry Bomb tackles the grindhouse genre throwing in a homage to 80's revenge flicks, but is it able to pull it off or will it live up to its name and be a bomb? Cherry Bomb follows a stripper hell bent on revenge after being assaulted. With the help of her brother they set out on a journey to do what the law won't. As a story, this film has everything on its side to create a fun revenge flick that holds no punches. Sadly it just doesn't have much else to help it along. The acting is pretty bad throughout, but not in that entertaining fun way you expect from these films. It could have still worked if they had the action or cult type substance these films usually incorporate, but it missed the boat there as well. Everyone seems to be giving it all, but somewhere it just seemed to fall apart. There was never any real urgency in any of the characters situations be it life or death. All the characters seemed all over the place never seeming all that consistent. The action was OK from time to time, but for a movie meant to focus on the revenge factor, this should have been where they push the envelope to make this film work, but instead they just seemed to let it happen and sadly it did not.This is a decent attempt and shows clear effort with a smaller budget to create a fun movie, but sadly just misses the mark. From the start of this film it just never really gets going and becomes more laughable than it seemed to be intended. If in fact it was meant as more of a mockery of the genre and to be so bad it's good, then they succeeded in spades, it just doesn't look as though that was the intention.
pagediver First of all let's not harbor any illusions. This is not a high-budget feature film! That being said those of you who can appreciate good work and don't demand that this movie rival a multi-million dollar production will be able to appreciate what Kyle Day and his crew have accomplished. The movie itself starts fairly slow but picks up quickly and within 30 minutes or so Cherry and her brother are on a full blown killing rampage with some very exciting executions perpetrated on some very believable scumbags. Important to the development of her character is that Cherry's anger remain righteous lest she becomes like her tormentors. In one particular scene Cherry is about to make another kill on someone less than deserving but at the last moment is unable to, thereby retaining her humanity. (Good job Aaron Alexander). The killing continues as the stakes and the body count grow ever higher until the final showdown. I'll stop there but I will say that at the very end one particular kill made me jump out of my seat it was so cool. You'll know it when you see it. The soundtrack is all original and Jason Latimer should be commended.Overall this feature film puts new faces to a well filmed storyline but has elements of gore and humor in unsuspecting places. Well done.
proslacker Cherry Bomb is a great Revenge/Action movie. As with most great movies it starts with a fine story that grabs your attention from the very beginning and never lets up. Julin is excellent as the stripper Cherry and John Rodriguez is outstanding as Brandon her brother and co-conspirator in revenge. Kudos also go to the performances of Nick Manning as Cherry's boss, Ian and to Allen Hackley as the menacing "Bull".Add to this a great job of directing and terrific music that totally compliments the movie without overpowering it and you have a super film. All in all I found it to be an exciting movie with a very satisfying ending. Terrific acting by everyone and a nice twist to the story at the end. A great job by the entire cast and crew!
