Beyond the City Limits Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
VividSimon Simply Perfect
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
adonis98-743-186503 Three women outsmart unsavory men who try to cheat them out of their take in an almost-botched casino heist. Bad Acting, Bad Characters and poor filmmaking ruin "Beyond the City Limits" and from the first scene of the film we know what kind of movie we're getting and it's not good. (0/10)
Robert Clarke Sergei and Yuri are two small time Russian crooks who are attempting to hit the big time by ripping off a casino with the aid of a security guard and a couple of bent cops.Misha (Nastassja Kinski) and Lexi (Alison Hannigan) are their Girlfriends, two of society's misfits with no real goals in life.After an argument between Yuri and Lexi, the girls are kicked out of their house and by chance meet Helena (Jennifer Esposito) , an old friend of Mishas who has just got divorced from (yet still lives with) her loser cop husband Jack (Todd Field).The girls decide to try and get in on the Casino job, and get revenge on the men in their lives who have betrayed them – yet things go far from smooth, and anything but as planned."Rip it off" is only mildly entertaining at best and it isn't really a surprise that this confused and all in all uninteresting film sunk without trace here in the UK. The characters are either annoying or nasty and it's very hard to sympathise with anyone involved. Its watchable but really does fall quite wide of the mark.
PurpleNiobe Has anyone else seen this movie? Does anyone else get it? This movie came on Showtime a while ago and I only saw it because my newest crush is in it (Six Feet Under's Freddy Rodriguez). He was in like three scenes: One, he was shooting someone, two he was far off in the distance in the dark, and three he was getting shot. So I pretty much watched this movie for nothing. I understood the basic premise of the movie, and it had potential. Three friends come to the conclusion that their lives are really going nowhere and they are more than ready for a change. So they decide (with the help of a former boyfriend I guess), to rob a casino, get on a boat, and sail away somewhere with the money and start their lives over. My question is this: where were the two girls going on that boat? I'm no boat expert but that boat didn't look too much like anything that was going to get them too far. Lexi seemed interested in France and the French language but I doubt that's where they were going to try to go.Also, before Lexi got onto the boat, she placed the wigs they were wearing on Her Russian boyfriend and those two other thugs. Am I suppose to believe that the cops are going to fall for that? Like they won't look back at the surveillance photo and at LEAST see that the people robbing the place didn't have beards? I'm not expecting much of a response to this post. It will be interesting to see if anyone else actually watched this movie and what they thought of it.
jhs39 Lame Canadian heist flick will be of interest to Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans since it stars not only Allyson Hannigan (Willow) but also features Alexis Denisof (Wesley on Buffy and Angel). The movie seems like it might have been inspired by Bound, but it's unconvincing and dull. Of the three female leads Hannigan comes off best by far, bringing a touching vulnerability to her part. Jenniffer Esposito, on the other hand, is dreadful. You never believe her for a second and are always too aware that you're watching an actress play a part--and a not very good actress at that based on this movie and Backflash.
