Consignment Audience Reviews

Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
cuevasf71 This is not a pure 8 out 8 stars for Consignment. The old school bell curve is in full effect. Hands down consignment has a banging soundtrack for a low budget urban piece. Its hot. Custom Made Recordings & Babygrande Records consignment track crushes. I've been a big fan of jackin4beats.com since it started. Music makes a movie. This movie had real street music. The story is old hash. A drug dealer wants to get out of the business. Nothing new. What was new was having a black east coast drug dealer, played by jackin4beats founder by Tim Beachum, having crazy panic attacks after moving to LA to deal with latino gangsters. What was banging was action, nudity, and real looking cast. Straight up a few people were clearly cast from the streets.
tedthumb The problem with Consignment is not enough James Hurd playing villain Detroit Mike. I always give crime movies from unknown people a try, Never expecting much. Not this time. Detroit Mike is one BADASS character! Crazy eyes! He kills like a machine. He snuffs out a puerto rican drug dealer by using a pillow as a silencer. He kills a jamican drug dealer with a pool cue. He uses a buzz saw to cut up the body of his best friend and loyal crime partner. He rapes and kills a female drug dealer. He beats a rogue drug dealer to death then tosses him in a shallow grave like mulch. I rated this movie high because of James Hurd playing Detorit Mike. Consignment is a story that has been done to death, A criminal has a change of heart and plans on doing one more big deal to escape their life of crime. What made this one rise above most rubbish B movie crime movies was ACTION & NUDITY. I liked what writer/director Sid Kali did. It's clear he understands movies are for entertainment. Give people what they want. Is he as talented as Oliver Stone? NO! Is he talented as Spike Lee? NO! I'm sick of B movies that try to be artistic. Don't worry about that here. There is a part where a delicious looking stripper takes her clothes off for no apparent reason. Did it move the story? NO! Was it hot? YES!!!!
escobar0813 I loved this full out gangster movie. It's loaded with action. Story moved quick with no let downs. Consignment had some of the most real characters I've seen in a little bit. I gotta say the striptease in this movie was FANTASTIC. The dance, the grind, the moves were electric. Too many glossy fake movies about drug dealing out there that miss the mark. Consignment landed a bullseye. What I really liked to see was the mixed cast of characters represented. You had Black, White, Latino, Asian, and Native American faces shown. That was hot to see. Another surprise was the soundtrack. I got my DVD off Amazon. Wherever you get it you check it out.
joeflores2455 Consignment directed by Sid Kali reminded me of an updated twist on the classic old school gangster movies. The action was hot. The characters powerful. The story well told. The rhythm of the dialog captured the true flavor of the street. The picture was beautiful. All around solid independent movie.A few scenes that stood out were seeing a member of a biker gang get killed execution style in a dirt field. Looked crazy. In another part of the movie there is a full blown shoot out at some industrial yard between drug dealers. Great gun play. I flipped over one scene where this drug dealer trips out on drugs and alcohol going on a mind trip. You feel like you're in it when you watch.The way it was shown reminded of the scene in Goodfellas where Henry Hill is tripping on coke being chased by a helicopter. The sexiest part was a strip show by this smoking hot Latina. A chapter from Showgirls folded in to a gangster movie.The cast is rising young actors that shined. I was impressed with the realism and raw intensity of their performances. A few characters that stood out were trigger happy drug dealer Carmelo played by Jerome Anthony Hawkins, every man Tommy Jones played by Tim Beachum, Latino drug dealer Smiles played by Ruben Navarro, his ultra sexy wife Irene played by Andrea Jimenez.Based on true events, Consignment is about Tommy Jones, a reluctant East Coast drug dealer on the run with his wife, Yolanda, after a rival kingpin's plan to have him ripped-off and murdered goes wrong. In need of fast cash to go straight, the pair head to Southern California, where Tommy hooks up with his cousin, a reckless, hot-tempered drug dealer. Tommy quickly gets in over his head, and is forced to take a large shipment of crystal meth on consignment from a ruthless Latino gangster. Double-crosses, a series of brutal murders, and an old secret from his wife's past foils Tommy's plans for a new start at life.I highly recommend Consignment to people that love crime movies. This one hits on all cylinders. A heavy dose of action that entertains from start to end. Nice to a quality gangster movie done by an independent studio. Consignment has heart and soul.
