This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

SHE WANTED SETH SHE WANTED SETH BAD.TO BAD THE HUSBAND CAME IN AND STOPPED HER FUN.Sure she played hard to get when he asked her did she want coke Her eyes lit up like the new years ball on January 31 in time square. Oh yeah baby Seth new the score she wanted him and she wanted him bad.All the chicks wanted that skinny drugged out pimpled faced ally rat.His brother did the right thing by running down those working class folks.How dare they defend this horny house wife. That's what makes this flick so bad not the writing not the acting not the plot...whats makes it bad is they want us to believe that SETH the dead brother was not the hottest thing in the club hell sit down BRAD PITT. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS SHE WANTED IT REAL BAD SHE WANTED SETH HECK THEY ALL WANTED SETH .IF I WAS A CHICK WELL YOU GET THE PICTURE.

How could you give this movie one star? The dialogue is very silly and the acting is goofball central, but you can't say the plot doesn't make any sense: the original 80s version called 'The Warriors' is widely considered a classic. This movie is goofy, but it's way more fun than it should be and the two WWE stars detract from the story only to the same degree The Rock used to when he was busting skulls. Van Damme's younger brother (in name only) is a bonafied action star, and I hope he continues to make movies. For seekers of unintentional comedy this is a gem. Find it and give it a shot. For low-budget action aficionados this will be a great addition as it has an independent feel with an above average production value. For people who only watch Eisenstein films ... well, you probably won't be on this page anyways. Happy viewing!Rating: 22/40

In Wrong Side of Town (a film that deserves some kind of award for having the most bogus and misleading DVD artwork in recent memory) ex-WWE wrestler Rob Van Dam plays a family man who gets in hot water with a vengeful crime boss, and has to battle his way out of it. Luckily, Van Dam's character happens to be an former Navy SEAL... Look, this film is terrible. I mean, truly awful. For a start, the DVD cover features prominently WWE big gun David 'Batista' Bautista, but as Van Dam's old Navy buddy, he only turns up in a couple of scenes, and majestically unconvincing ones they are at that. Mind you, even Bautista has more screen presence and charisma that the woeful RVD, who, in terms of acting ability, makes his nearly-namesake Jean-Claude Van Damme (Van Dam originally adopted the ring name because he vaguely resembles the 'Muscles from Brussels') look like Robert Mitchum by comparison. Featuring a shockingly amateurish script, softly-softly fight scenes that just don't cut it, and lots of appalling acting (even from the non-wrestlers), this film sucks on every level. It's the kind of film in which a man can get shot in the leg, only for the police to send him home in a taxi rather than ordering him to hospital. It's the kind of film in which the leading man arms himself with lots of guns and knives, and dresses in black for the final showdown with the villains, and slips on his sunglasses...even though it's the middle of the night. It's the kind of film in which, after beating up a load of street trash, one ex-military tough guy says to another 'Just like old times...' It's also full of odd gambits that left me scratching my head, like the bizarre James Bond-inspired opening credits, a lingering shot of topless adult film star Stormy Daniels, and rapper Ja Rule turning up in a cameo part that should have led him to fire his agent; any day-player could have took the small role of the generic dirtbag 'gangsta' he plays here. Even in the largely worthless pantheon of dodgy genre pics that attempt to showcase wrestling stars in the lead roles, Wrong Side of Town hits a new low. Avoid, and then some.

So the WWE creates a separate production company to use it's superstars to make low end action movies right? Well straight away you know their end product is very unlikely to have any kind of creative impact in the Arts and Entertainment world. This of course becomes very much apparent in "The Wrong Side of Town"; a film so bad it's brilliant.Where do you start with this? Well first off Rob Van Dam is so wooden he makes Hayden Christensen look like a thespian when he played Anakin Skywalker or Manakin Skywalker as was so beautifully put in Clerks 2.*spoiler alert*It supposed to star Batista right? well what kind of Actor gets top billing in a movie they are in for only 5 minutes? Also JaRule? He's in it for less!*spoiler over*What must have happened is that Rob Van Dam fell out of favour with the WWE (which is probably why he's now at TNA) during the making or post production and got pushed back to third billing or that Batista is a more likely name that'll sell this bucket of horse sick. Either way it wouldn't have helped this movie make any dent in the sales chart (unless it did in which case there is no God).To be honest I could go on about how terrible this film is and about the lame plot, lame acting and lame "twist" (it's not a very good one), but instead I'm just going to say that You have to watch this movie. It is so bad it's brilliant. When I say that Steven Segal films are Oscar worthy compared to this tripe (that looks to have been edited by a guy who got drunk and head butted the keyboard) you'd think I was joking but trust me I'm not.Have fun with it. I know I sure as hell did. I laughed so hard throughout the film I woke the neighbours' baby up!
