I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

To me, this movie is perfection.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

An Interpol agent fights drug dealers in Europe and America. Berretta's Island is probably one of the most painful action movies that you will ever see in your life. The acting is bad, the jokes aren't funny, the action is lame, the plot is predictable and the whole thing is just a mess. Franco Columbu might have been great as a Future Terminator in the Original Terminator movie back in 1984 but in here he just isn't your typical action hero every time he starts talking is funny and even funnier when he actually sings the movie gets even more stupid when you see people chase threw the streets and nobody gives a crap even to look at them, people get shot and sometimes there is no goddamn blood or they never fired a goddamn gun in their lives like ever. The best thing about the film and the only scene where i laughed Arnold Schwarzenegger plays himself in the movie and even tho the film is meh he is just good as always. Wanna hear the funnier part? they put Arnold in the poster in a horrible photoshop yeah they actually tried to promote this dumb film as a Schwarzenegger Action Flick. Franco seems to have more chemistry with his best friend than the girl he wants to sleep with that by the end of the film we actually get to see her naked because why the hell not right? Skip this movie by any means necessary it comes out as a rapist, predictable crappy action film with shaky cam scenes and even more laughable dialogue and characters i give it a 4 out of 10. 4/10.

Very funny to watch "Beretta's Island" as kind of natural trash-film.It is like answer to Jess Franko's type of b-movie.Bodybuilders strikes back (!face to face!) to pushers.The very very very stupid strike!Action: unbelievably bad directed firing(shooting) scenes look even better than hand-to-hand fighting.Chasing scenes ridiculous.Saving beauties scenes incredibly stupid.Erotic scenes are very unerotic.The main luck of film is pretty landscapes and festival scenes.Don't miss:Arnold Schwarzenegger's joke at start of film and list of Franco Columbu's kin at the end. Special attraction: naked bosom.Almoust forgot - Franco can sing!

I like when certain low budget independent motion pictures are trying harder to make a point. "Beretta's Island" certainly is one of them. Franco Columbu (Mr. World, Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia) produced this movie and stars as an interpol agent - code name Beretta - who is forced out of retirement to avenge the cold-blooded murder of a cop. The killer's trail leads to Franco's hometown on the beautiful island of Sardinia, west of the Italian coast line. Rarely used locations adding an amazing flavor to the action and increases the value of the story and cinematography. I heard that in some circles in the USA and around the world this is considered a cult movie.

Francko Columbo (aka The Ripper) is a superb actor, who could forget him in the classic detective series when he wore that long dirty coat and drove around in a whacked out old car with his pet bloodhound. Anyway back to Beretta's Island, it is one of the best epic action Manganime films I have ever seen. I cannot find enough superlatives for this movie. Franco excels as the cop who will stop as nothing to capture the very young Paul Hogan (the evil drug dealer). Arnold's role is great and its cool to see him getting ripped with Franco!??? The drop kick sequence has to be seen to be believed, it was all, i believe, filmed in camera with no latex involved! Franco's prosthetic ageing make-up works wonders to give him a very convincing appearance. Franco trained hard for a year for this movie and it really paid off. The action scenes are the best i have seen since Spawn, specifically the bit where Spawn does a forward flip with 2 machine guns. The early use of CGI almost tops the innovation displayed in Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Lance Henrickson cameos as a street punk who gets whipped by Franco. Try and spot Dudley Moore in the apartment shoot-out scene. Bill Paxton also features as a villain who uses double Uzi's in the final underwater action sequence. Highly recommended.
