Wrong Side Of Town


"Am I Not Speaking English?"

I bought this movie because it featured wresting stars Rob Van Dam & Batista & I wanted to see how they would do in their acting debuts. I can say that I wasn't impressed. The movie is bad. The plot is simple but not exactly something interesting. It's the usual Ex-Marine who gets involved with a death & hunted down & has his daughter kidnapped & gets a friend to help him. Not very original. 

The plot is that Bobby (RVD) & his wife are invited to dinner with new neighbours. They go to a club where the owner is the main villian, who leaves & puts his younger brother in charge, who takes RVD's wife to the office. During a struggle, the brother is killed by his own knife & the main villian Seth puts a bounty on RVD'S head. Van Dam must fight his way through gangs & bodyguards to get his family & neighbours safe & calls his old friend Ronnie(Batista) for help. 

There are some stunts with knives, guns, motorcycles & gas station apparatus but they aren't really memorable. Poor fight scenes whch are preticable. 

Because it is RVD's first role, Iwent easy on him & he wasn't actually that bad. He wasn't good but didn't suck. More Mediocre. Batista wasn't interesting & wasn't that good. The main villian was played well. Other than the villian, this movie is bad. The fight scenes are okay but could've been much better.

Dull, weak story and underdeveloped characters, Wrong Side of Town further accentuates why wrestlers aren't usually good film actors.
