High on Films

While there are numerous leaps of logic throughout this crime saga, I’d still recommend you to check the film out because Yerby feels like a promising voice who could do better with a bigger budget at hand.

Action Reloaded

Rincón de cine

Written and directed by Matthew Yerby. The Dirty South is about the trap of the South, and the strength of certain women who have the ability to take the reins of a game that has them buried, and somehow survive the attempt. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

The reason this film is mildly entertaining is because of the charismatic presence of actor Dermot Mulroney.

Come for the music. Stay for the acting. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Mark J This was a pretty good movie. Willa was awesome! Quick paced, great storyline! I recommend it! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Jelisije J One of those films where you have plenty of interesting characters being smushed together in a short run time that you would be better off having a tv series instead to give justice to the characters and its story. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Ronnie G I'm sorry how can this movie be rated at 90 percent ? None of the characters are likable, the acting is clunky and looks like they are doing a parody. None of the actions sequences are memorable or done well, it looks like a High School play.I watched it with 2 other people, when it was done we just looked at each other, the only thing we could say was " the critics at Rotten Tomatoes must have some kind of affiliation with the wreck. Really 90 percent, the Godfather is 90 percent, Apocalypse Now is 90 percent, this is like 23 on a good day. I can tell critics today did not grow up reading, character development, plot, setting and a believable storyline seem unimportant. 90 percent is a joke. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
