Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

drjgardner This is nothing you haven't seen before, only this time they spend nearly ½ the movie watching scantily clothed people dancing to loud music. The acting is OK, and I always enjoy seeing Steven Bauer (Manny from "Scarface") even if his role is pretty small. There isn't a lot of action nor is there much character development, and there are no major surprises, except for one.

adonis98-743-186503 Based on the true story of a Miami Beach nightclub owner who takes a young employee under his wing, while trying to avoid bankruptcy and the mafia. The bad thing about "Kings of South Beach" is that it tries way to hard to be it's own thing but as other people said already it does try to be something like Scarface meets Goodfellas but those 2 films had great acting, script and directors when this one has mediocre acting at best, a very dumb script and it's just pretty boring and for the most part nothing happens, if there's one good thing about it it's definitely the soundtrack because everything else it's just very disappointing.

Wizard-8 I think the true story "Kings of South Beach" is based on could have made for a good movie, but unfortunately under these particular hands the end results are rather lacklustre. The main problem with the movie is that it isn't very interesting or compelling. It moves at a really slow pace for the most part, with only a minimum of story; there is a lot of padding here. The two central characters aren't terribly interesting, unless you count the fact that there is some unintentional amusement with Donnie Wahlberg resembling Christian Slater. Wahlberg and Jason Gedrick do what they can in these roles, but because their characters are so dull there's about as much chemistry as rubbing two wet noodles together. It doesn't help that the entire enterprise has a really cheap feeling to it, which is no surprise given than the movie was made for television. You would be much better off rewatching "Donnie Brasco" instead of watching this wannabe.

goopi83 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.
