Kings of South Beach, 17 May 2008
6/10
Author: dangkoen from Belgium

When I heard about this movie and found out it was based on a true story, I was curious. Because after Miami Vice, everyone likes to see shows and movies that use Miami as a main location. So I rented this movie expecting nothing special.

Let me say it's a decent movie. The acting is OK, although Brian Goodman didn't look comfortable in some scenes with actors who didn't get the job done. But I could still get through that. The only negative comment I have on this movie is that it felt rushed and some scenes seemed missing. But overall, I give it a 6. Nothing memorable, but definitely worth a watch.

Surprisingly good for a TV movie..., 27 October 2007
7/10

This is actually a very good movie. Most movies that are made for TV are always missing out on certain things that the big movies have, but not this time. The story revolves around Andy Burnett (Wahlberg) and Chris Troiano (Gedrick). Andy Burnett has just moved down to South Beach and is looking for some work, he happens upon Troiano, who is a night club owner. Andy starts out as just a bouncer, but scores some major poins with Troiano (warns him about a police raid, backs him up in a fight against some russians), so pretty soon Troiano takes Andy under his wing. I can't go any further into the plot cause it would ruin the entire movie. But let me just say, watch this film cause it is very good. Good story, good acting, a few good fight and action scenes, and great chemistry between the two main stars. I give it a 7/10, cause I would definitely watch it again.

Boring, 7 May 2008

Who cares if this is a true story? Hothead mob-connected night club owner near Miami goes postal on his enemies, while his lieutenant tries to calm him down.

Well, that's what we'e led to believe anyway. There's more to the story. I won't give it away.

The problem is, in order to get to that "twist", we must endure 80 minutes of lots of girls, sex, bad disco music, girls, dancing, music, bad music, and even worse music. I was wondering when I was going to see some real "mob action"? Other than a couple scary guys showing up in Chris's club making threats...nothing. We are focused on Chris and his new lieutenant spending all this time in the nightclub. Keep in mind that Chris, the hothead nightclub owner, is not really a mobster--he's just a nightclub owner. So expect to be sitting in a nightclub the whole movie, OK? His fresh new lieutenant (a reliable Wahlberg) tries to be the "voice of reason" to Chris, but to no avail. Things finish off with a revelation, a chase (where we finally hear some good music actually!)and a postscript wrap-up of "real events" in this case.

Completely forgettable. 3 points.
