Bumrush (2011)
2/10
worse than expected (awful...)
27 August 2011
Director/writer Michel Jetté fails to recreate the greatness of his previous 2 movies. In those movies, Jetté offered a powerful insider's look into the criminal world's rituals, power struggles & such. In this one, bunch of clichés flying around entwine with lines from SUN TZU's book ''The art of war''. An outsider's superficial look into the criminal ways of street gangs.

First half of the movie was plain awful, especially the acting. The second part fell short of creating exciting action. In the ''Québécois'' landscape, Bumrush might fare quite well cause in Quebec, when it comes to movies & television, everything is shoestring budget with mainly poor acting. Internationally, this movie stands no chance.

1) Lack of budget means you settle for amateurish acting and takes. 2) Poor script did nothing to save a promising idea. 3) One would think a director/writer would improve the third time around.

Was I expecting too much out of this movie? Anyway, complete let down...
