Bushwick

If you like invasions and apocalypses -- whether zombies or Commies, aliens or earthquakes -- you'll enjoy this fun, low-budget thriller. Unless you can't handle seeing a political action thriller that's not a conservative, prepper fantasy. Please, people: How many lefty action movies are there out there? All these reviewers freaking out because they stumbled across one, starring a wrestler even, that wasn't a page out of the GOP playbook: Relax people. Go watch one of the Die Hards again if you're so sensitive.

While the effects were clearly low budget, this film did its best with what it had. While not on the level of Children of Men, it is still an entertaining run and gun (or more likely get gunned) movie that keeps the frantic pace until the end. This movie really gave me a DMZ comic feeling. Just like in the comic, the South states are attacking the North by invading Brooklyn. The people trapped between the warring sides try to survive by any means possible. My opinion is that you should give this movie a try, even though the effects and even the acting fall flat at times. The action more than makes up for it.

This film tells the story of a young woman and a military veteran, who are stranded in a city where insurgent forces heavily attack, with the aim of succession from the USA. "Bushwick is surprisingly good considering it is a low budget film. The plot is good, there is a lot of action and thrill throughout the film. It wastes no time in introducing the intense gunfights int he city, making New York like a war zone. The camera work is great, as there are a lot of long continuous shots of fighting and escaping scenes which I am sure are challenging to stage. The main characters are likable, and I just really hope that they can get out of the highly dangerous situation. I enjoyed watching "Bushwick", I thought it was surprisingly thrilling and captivating.

Two people get stuck in a city-wide gun fight. The camera trails about six feet behind the main characters as they scamper from one besieged house to another. The action is pretty intense! Passers by and pedestrians in the back ground get gunned down or embroiled in their own personal dramas. This is not an expensive film and its lack of budget is both its strength and weakness. It has a gritty feel to it and there is no big Hollywood star waiting to rip his shirt off and everything has a degree of realism about it. But some of the action scenes do suffer from a lack of funds. Soldiers wait patently for stuntmen to do their thing before spurring into action, or beat at invisible flames that the CGI team didn't get time to add. This feels very much like a computer game. There is not a whole lot for the characters to do except run and dodge and shoot, but the film is kept under the magic 90 minute mark so that was ok. They try to add some meat to the characters in a couple of quite dull dialogue scenes that didn't really work. I only know the characters from their backsides so I only need to know them about as intimately as I know third storm trooper from the right. The final sequence falls apart a bit as the sets are just too small for the extras to comfortably fight over. This is a great, cheap little run-and-gun action movie. Quite gritty and thrilling.

WOW, I was hooked up all the way through this movie. I watched it on Netflix, never heard of it before, watched the beginning of the trailer and I thought "I'm gonna like it" and I did. At the beginning, it's the total confusion with the shooting, questions left unanswered for some time. When you get the answers it's like "what the heck!" Honestly, it's a great movie. Near the end you kind of guess what was going to happen and it is sad in a way but it was logical and inevitable and it is a really good ending. I didn't get bored at all. Action packed. People running, defending themselves. Facing danger, no matter who you are or which religion you practise, you need to hurt others for self-preservation. Defend yourself or die. Well filmed also. That was brilliant! I recommend this movie, just try it!

Quite obvious is the agenda of these horrible liberals who bang on about non violence and then are the only ones using violence - in this movie its obvious who they are targeting (the scene with the 4 Jewish blokes in their hats blasting away cmon do you really have to make it that obvious) and pretty lame it is too! Sadly even though I like Big Dave in Riddick and other films as long as he doesn't have a major role as he just cannot carry a movie as the main character - he grunts and groans and sometimes you can make out what he says, sometimes you might just catch his face on camera and the female is just a tad more able but not by much. The scene in the Laundrette had me cringing as big Dave tries to do an emotioonal scene grrrrrr i wanted to hide behind the sofa i felt so embarrassed for the big guy! Story had a good premise but Red Dawn did it much better with real actors actors and a decent script which this one does not. By the end I couldn't have cared less how it ended to be honest, I just wanted it to all be over so I could go to bed! Was hoping for something different but failed miserably with little to no tension and I have to laugh at the other reviewer who said maybe Limp wristed , LGBT, Clinton Supporting dweebs might find it interesting - he is probably right!
