laslowhite I watched Hood Angels last months as a couple of friends decided to put the movie on.There are three main female characters in the film (Cinnamon, Felicia and Traci) who all get involved in bad situations but through innocent circumstances come together after they are sent to prison.I believe that the film did have some potential as the main character Cinnamon tries to uncover the truth about her brothers murder and there are one or two twists along the way. The main antagonist in the film is Shayla who has instigated a lot of the trouble and she can be quite a bitch at times. Her cat fight with Felicia is probably one of the best fight scenes in the film.There were however some disappointments, the acting could have been improved between some of the characters as they could have had more personality and the effects could have been a little better, also there is not a lot of action in the film until the final half an hour which is worth seeing.Sadly i can only give this film 4 out of 10.
Joker_NorthLDN This film was a failed attempt at recreating an urban version of 'Charlies Angels'. Don't get me wrong it could have worked if they had a better director and people that could actually act. I did not feel any chemistry between the three lead actresses all they did was say the lines. Also the way the three of them hook up in the end with the men is just ridiculous,in other films people get together naturally or there is a subtle hint that they might get together. Not in this film it was just like right your gonna be with him, you with him and so on. The action scenes were rubbish so unreal, they didn't have me hanging of the edge of my seat at all. I know that they had a low budget but there is so much they could have done. Some of the greatest films were made on a low budget i mean look at 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' that was a fantastic film. The case of this film fools you and so does what it says on the back of it as when i read it i thought it sounded really good. I still advise anyone to watch this film, as it is a good example of how bad a film can be and it gets you thinking how it could have been improved.
jsfisher-1 This movie is a piece of crap. Period. The lighting is awkward. There is one noticeable blooper in every scene. There are plot holes left and right. The acting is awful. The budget is noticeably low. And for all these reasons, it's extremely entertaining.Basically, the movie starts out with three women being arrested for (according to the Box description) "Crimes they didn't commit. After this, they are all sent to jail. All of these 'crimes' are just a form of self-defense, and would most likely result in a fine, at worst. To believe that a woman defending herself from an armed robber is worth jail time is laughable. In jail (which is constructed of an old elevator gate, and could be pushed over without effort) they all are released under the promise they find the killer of "Nitro Jones" (horribly played by Juvenille).Not surprisingly, he is in the movie for less than five minutes, yet gets the lead credit. Awesome. Following that is a period of awful fight scenes, terrible dialogue, and stereotypes.This movie is one of the worst movies ever made, but it's a must see for this reason.GOOFS: One of the girls call's the character "Baby Boy" by the actors name "Skip".When Nitro says "It's hot in here" and touches his shirt, you can hear heavy feedback from the mike.The tag-line is "Bad Girls with Big Guns". Only one of the girls actually holds a gun in this movie, and it is only to take it away from a bad guy.The cover is obviously photoshoped and one of the girls on the cover isn't even in the movie.Outside of Keefer's (a lawyers) office, you can easily see that a biohazard warning has been spray painted off the building.The Hooker in the prison with the Angel's asks if they have anything she can smoke that's "Not a cigarette". Obviously, they'd have search all of them for drugs, so this question is down right unbelievable.The Fight scenes are sped up so they can be performed slower in real life.
gridoon But the problem with "Hood Angels" is not just the lack of budget; it is also the lack of talent. The trailer promises an action-packed film, but the actual film is mostly talk, with about 3-4 fight scenes, all of which are spoiled by the disastrous editing (in one scene, a guy gets kicked in the face; in the next shot, he is holding his stomach!). The portrayal of the rap world is totally stereotypical (perhaps it's not so surprising that the director is white). From its straight-to-video look to the acting, "Hood Angels" is an amateurish production in all respects. Fortunately, one of the female leads, Kenia Brown, is stunning and athletic; unfortunately, she only appeared in one more film after this and then disappeared. (*)
