Excellent but underrated film

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Are you kidding me????Do Not Watch!Anyone who went to the cinema to watch this should ask for a refund.So, here it goes:The movies story line or lack there of is extremely boring. The girls who "ACT" in this movie should set their sites on porn movies rather than the big screen. The twins about only claim here lays under a desk of the owner of the strip club where all the girls work.Story: Girl beaten and raped girl out of hospital and goes for revenge! Girls brother helps but gets killed girl becomes a marksman with rifles and has no problem killing people Girl shoots hired hit-man who has about 2 more lines than any Jason movies you might watch but has the same acting teacher as Jason. He even learned how to walk like him too.Owner of club guy behind the rape, the beating, the hiring of hit-man. Girl kills guy.This is absolute garbage. Anyone associated with the making of this "movie" should be looking for another job.

I have Spirit Camp (2009) in my possession signed by all chicks involved. They even send Julin's underwear with it signed by her. If that isn't funny, it's surely a name you never forget. Popping into my local DVD shop I noticed a cover that attracts healthy guys. Cherry Bomb was the title and let be Julin playing the main role.So far so good but it stops there. First of all, Cherry Bomb is a stripper and we do see her strip but she doesn't undress on screen. For me that's a big mistake. There are a lot of nude girls walking around in the strip club but Cherry never does. If you play the main stripper then I guess you are open to show it all. Secondly the acting was terrible. And by that I mean everybody. Couldn't believe anybody. The story is very simple, Cherry is being gang-raped at the strip club and she's out for revenge. But the revenge is so low on red stuff(except when Brandon got hit) and gore. Some girls outside the strip do want to look sexy or rough but it failed too. And just have a look at the shoot-out in the room, two meters from each other with a riot gun and still missing, it looked funny, just like Police Squad but wasn't intended to be funny. Well, the last 10 minutes are a bit gory(car crash and the eye scene) and watchable but overall it's dullThere are revenge flicks out that are a bit the same involving hot chicks like Bitch Slap (2009) or the overlooked Sweet Karma (2009). Cherry bomb? No, rather Turkey Bomb.Gore 0/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

**This review contains spoilers**Plot: In 1984, exotic dancer Cherry Bomb (Julin Jean) agrees to treat some of her club's guests to a private show. However, the 5 men have others ideas in mind. Cherry Bomb is raped and upon recovering, she finds out that the law has not acted on her behalf. So, with the help of her brother, she takes the law into her own hands.And thus we have Cherry Bomb, writer Garrett Hargrove and director Kyle Day's love letter to low-budget 70's grindhouse style films. So how does it fare? Well, its not without its problems. However, unlike some of the other reviews you'll see, its really an enjoyable flick. You just have to remember that you're watching an homage to grindhouse exploitation flicks. If you're expecting Oscar caliber acting and a dark and gritty character study on a woman who was raped and left for dead, find some other film. This is meant to be a fun film, period. The acting is at times very over-the-top, there are cheesy one-liners, the assassin "Bull" looks like a snapshot of blaxploitation films, and the action scenes are explosive and high-octane. Again, anyone who wants to see a grindhouse exploitation film won't be disappointed, I'm not sure where the confusion and anger is coming from, did any of these reviewers even watch the trailer? What were you expecting?With that said, I wasn't too fond of the way Cherry Bomb vacillated between a sassy one-liner spouting badass and then a tortured soul wondering if she was doing the right thing, it struck me as uneven. Also, the character "Bull" wasn't handled properly in my eyes. He was built up to be this unstoppable assassin, and yet wet behind the ears Cherry Bomb constantly gets the best of this guy, my suspension of disbelief only stretches so far. It just doesn't work for me when you build someone up to be a badass warrior and then make him look dumb.Final thoughts, like I said, this is clearly a love letter to the over- the-top 70s/80s grindhouse exploitation style films of old. If you weren't a fan of those films in the first place, then I wouldn't bother with this film either. If you did enjoy those films, then check out Cherry Bomb!

Just went to the Houston premiere last week and I have to say I was really impressed. Though it is definitely an indie, lower budget movie, I found myself captivated by Cherry Bomb's story and characters.Aside from one obvious reason to see this movie - Cherry - her and some other key characters did a great job of selling the plot and grabbing the audience. I felt genuinely vested in Cherry's plan for revenge and scared of the mysterious and ominous hit-man "The Bull," who had a really cool Pulp fiction vibe about him. The film work was well done, and the music really added to the mood of the scene, be it suspenseful or action-packed. One of my favorite clips is the opening montage showcasing the Pussy Hut, which sets the pace for the movie by delivering smoke-infused, raunchy stripping, a nasty, growling guitar riff and some tactful, tasteful (.)(.)s In all seriousness, I thought it was a cool movie and I'm glad I got to be a part of the Houston premiere. It was well-received by the rest of the crowd at Alamos that night, and I'm sure it will continue to impress new viewers.
