Review of Wrong Side of Town (2010) by Van R — 24 Aug 2011
WRONG SIDE OF TOWN looks like the kind of action-thriller that either Stallone or Seagal could have made in their respective primes. Indeed, this David DeFalco epic appears pretty threadbare, but it wears its basic budget well.
This is a conventional, fist for fist, bullet for bullet, tough guy actioneer that does not try to be anything more than it is. The spontaneity of this saga sets it apart from most crime melodramas. Everything transpires in an evening.
A stupid, coked-up, low-lifer tries to rape the wife of the hero. The hero who is a former Navy SEAL intervenes in the nick of time. The low-lifer charges him with a knife and the our hero deflects the attack.
The low-lifer collides with a sofa and accidentally embeds the blade in himself. Naturally, the restaurant/crime boss Seth blows his fuse when he learns about this tragedy. He orders his army of goons to kill our hero and he puts a bounty of $100-thousand on our hero.
David Bautista has an incredible scene with Ja Rule in the park when argue about the future of our hero. A nitty, gritty, somewhat bare bones thriller.
