Pawn Shop Chronicles Audience Reviews

RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
deickos At first it was like a film using Tarantino vocabulary. Or you could just say it was pretty messy in all three stories... But the end, that was worth watching: all of a sudden everything makes sense - each one of these crazy stories finds its place for the final American show. Like somebody said "in this completely crazy lottery ticket-magic 8 ball-total fluke economy that is America, telling jokes pays well". I am not sure most people will appreciate Mr. Minarovich's brilliant work.
TonyMontana96 The latest, trashy Knock-off of Tarantino's brilliant Pulp Fiction, is this sorry excuse for a film that has many stories, each lacking depth, coherence and quality. The first story is about three junkies, one is played by Paul Walker who gives the worst performance of his career, with an unintentionally hilarious character who talks a loud of nonsense and possesses and indecipherable accent, these druggies do nothing but yell at each other and come up with a half assed plan to rob their own drug dealer who has the goods, one of the druggies wears a clown mask because he forgot his ski mask and it's never thought through as the scene play's out like an amateur's first night out, and it's pathetic.The second story follows Matt Dillion as a recently married douche, who has just been duped by a stranger on the drive to his honeymoon, he stumbles into the pawn shop nearby owned by Alton (Vincent D'Onorfrio) who agrees to a quick deal involving a "look after this ring" till I pay you back type of deal; however Dillion spot's his first wife's ring there, she went missing 6 years ago, so he decides to ask him questions, the answers lead him to leave his new wife stranded and pursue his first wife who could be dead, or in the Caribbean for all he knows, his character is an assh**e, which is proved by the way he leaves his wife by the pawn shop.His story leads him to Elijah Wood's house where he is found jerking off watching his own porno's, now there's a terrible secret and it's cruel and very sexist, where women are locked in cages as sought of sex slaves, this is unacceptable and what's worse is what happens to Dillion at the end of this sequence, sure he was a jerk but he was just trying to help his wife who was found in one of the cages, a major plot hole is also noticeable where you hear screams from Elijah Wood's character who allegedly gets brutally killed by Dillon, and yet he is seen later on in the picture feeling fine. The writers have made this thing void of sense.The final story is about Brendan Fraser who play's an Elvis Impersonator and he look nothing like Elvis, the hair is completely wrong and his mannerisms are all of with the exception of one song he does towards the end of the picture, but all in all his story is pointless much like the other two and is just as ridiculous and awful as the other two. The film end's with nothing worth remembering with a terribly conceived plot twist involving a midget, I mean come on, are they out of inventive ideas or what. Hustler's is terribly written, laughably acted and horrible within its storytelling, it's just an awful piece of unoriginal garbage.
Iamowomizz Am so disappointed that a movie like this could get this low type of ratings... I mean check out this movie its crazy,funny..its bad ass i love this movie,i mean why would you rate this movie lower than 9,its got great actors great writer,sweet screen play.. This is the type of movie you watch when you're totally sad,it changes Ur mood,if you watch this movie without laughing you've got a problem because this movie is what you call perfection nice starting nice ending.. I lend out this movie to two of my friends and they like "wow!!!,this is great,so very great i love it am gonna get mine"i'd really like you to tweet me if am wrong @iamowomizz
christiank7 I gave it 2 because there are some funny moments but moments do not make a good film nor even a relatively interesting one. Kramer is showing us his very own rather disjointed comprehension of reality. Other reviews have pointed to the non interaction of the plot sequences but this is actually the least problematic with this attempt at dark humour. What is really annoying about this film is the stereotypes he uses to convey his liberal and very confused agenda. It is insulting to almost everybody except the holy in-crowd of Hollywood and of course the jews (this is a very small part of the film but it rings big bells). Rednecks and trailer trash seem to be his favorite ICONS. Pathetic really for a guy who is himself such a misery of a man. Google him if you do not believe what I am referring to here. Back to the film: the cast is actually the only saving grace but then when you only have split moment scenes you can afford to be brilliant. Really great acting comes from sustained performances throughout a challenging period of a plot which this film actually does not really have. That in itself is OK but then what is the point of the exercise? Good question without an answer. There is another disturbing element and it is not only with this film but with the connections that this Kramer is or has already made with a certain Hollywood group that smells so much like LIBERALISM gone mad. His future attempts will be avoided if we are so unlucky as to have any.
