I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The Age of Commercialism

Great Film overall

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Ray, an ex-con, is starting a new life looking to stay out of trouble. One evening, on Ray's watch, the nightclub he works for is robbed and the owner's son is shot dead. House of the Rising Sun once again tries to built a new generation of WWE Wrestlers turning into actors and some of them got lucky like The Rock some others did a decent job such as Cena and Stone Cold. Unfortunately tho this film doesn't give Bautista what he truly deserves cause the man has been good in a few movies but this one? Is unfortunately not one of them i guess. (4/10)

OK, I knew that one cannot expect too much from a flick that headlines Dave Bautista, but the DVD was cheap and the cover suggested a tag team of him and Danny Trejo. And they had a few decent B-movie stars to back them up. It looked like uncomplicated fun.Unfortunately, Trejo has no more than a cameo in this movie and plays virtually no role in the action at all. Bautista lacks the acting skills to carry the movie on his own, especially since the role does not exploit his considerable physical assets.The title also put me on the wrong foot, leading me to think this might be a precursor to Badasses on the Bayou. Nope, a lifeless wronged-cop-gets-retribution flick is what I got. Too bad about my one Euro.

I watched this movie because, based on the name, I was expecting it to be set in New Orleans. So I was a bit disappointed when it was set in Michigan, but I couldn't hold that against the film. However, there was still plenty else I could legitimately hold against the film.Unlike every other reviewer on here, I had no idea who Dave Bautista was and that he was a wrestler. What the other reviews don't mention is how distracting Bautista's size is throughout the movie. Because he is so huge, dwarfing every other actor, I kept expecting him to hulk out and start smashing things. I didn't understand why they would have cast someone with that ENORMOUS size if it wasn't a requirement for the role (à la early Schwarzenegger as Conan). I also couldn't understand why any serious, dramatic actor (and this is a serious role) would do that to his body as I kept wondering how many steroids it took to get that big. Finding out he was a professional wrestler at least explained that apparent contradiction. I suppose the producers thought they were cashing in on Bautista's "fame."I'll give Bautista credit for trying and trying very, very hard to act this part which was reminiscent of a film noir detective. Unfortunately, he just didn't have the acting skills to pull it off. (Just because someone like a wrestler, model or singer "performs" as part of their job doesn't mean they can act. News flash: Acting is its own unique specialty. It takes talent and practice to be able to act well.) Instead of restrained, he comes across as wooden. Maybe they thought they'd cast against type by putting Gigantor into a role where he's supposed to be low key, intelligent and only resorts to violence when he's forced to instead of just grabbing the bad guy by his shirt, lifting him off the ground and threatening to pound him back into the ground with his ham-sized fist. As the noose draws tighter and tighter around Bautista's character, you're supposed to feel sorry for the guy, but it's nearly impossible to feel sympathy for the biggest guy in the room. (The one character I did feel sympathy for was the hit-man friend.) To make things worse the script was bad. Tedious, predictable except where it didn't make any sense at all, and far too slow moving in spots --- deadly dull even. Great acting can salvage a thin script. But this wasn't great acting from anyone. It was mediocre acting with performances as flat as the pages of the newspaper comic strip it felt like the story came from.The nicest things I can say about the movie are at least it was shot on location in Michigan (and didn't take the usual cheap route of Vancouver, British Columbia) and I somehow made it to the end of the movie. But I don't recommend you make it to the end of this movie or even to the beginning. Just do yourself a favor and skip this one.

The trailer for this is actually pretty solid and i thought it would be good because of the supporting cast as well. batista limited to short lines and fightng wouldve been fine, except that they did the opposite. they gave him useless stupid long lines of dialogue, and i think i counted three "action" scenes. I put that in quotations because none of the action aside from maybe the opening shootout was fast paced.this was miscast, in terms of the lead cop who plays a minor foil for batista. he acts all tough, but looks like a scrawny little punk, as does purcell's lead henchmen who looks 160 lbs soaking wet.there were a few unintentionally funny moments where i laughed because the lines/cussing seemed so unnecessary. for instance when in the parking lot, batista wants another file from his ex partner, at the end of it the ex partner randomly goes "f*ck you, asshole!" with a double flick off, then drives off. also after he fights the black guy at the house, batista says, " let's go you big f*ck." end scene.at the very end of the movie after amy smart is shown shoving cops and saying ray for about two tediously long minutes, the last line is "have a great life, jeannie."...jenny...whatever her name is. and that is that.... no real closure. abrupt, silly ending to a very cliché movie with no real action.
