Gun Hill Audience Reviews

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

subxerogravity OK, the start of the movie is kinda cheesy. It's been played out since Jean Claude Van Damme did it, and I'm not talking about Double Impact, I'm talking about Maximum Overdrive (That's right Jean Claude did it twice).As it turned out the movie became a pretty good cop drama with Larenz Tate playing twins, who went down two different paths (Do I really need to explain the paths they went down? OK) one became a cop and one became a criminal who just got out of jail. Then the good cop twin is killed and the crooked twin takes his place (Almost Mimicking the plot to Maximum Overdrive).It's interesting to see how a crook becomes a cop. At first it was hard but then it got easy when they put him undercover to take down the guy bringing the drugs to the Bronx, so the crook gets to get into his element.The film could have been better as they had an opportunity to get more in depth with the idea of a man pretending to be something he's not but I guess they wanted to give the essence that this guy is quick enough on his feet to blend in (Really nailing this ideal of how thin a line cops and criminals have and it's easy to cross over).Larenz Tate was awesome in it. Especially with the fight scenes that showcase the 51 pick up marshal arts style that was created in prison. I've only seen it one other time on film (Tony Jaa's the Protector two, which only proves what a diverse phenomenon Jaa is the the marshal arts game). Thankfully he did not have to focus on being two people for the whole movie, and his performance as a crook trying to be a cop was good.Gun Hill is definitely a movie you should checkout.http://cinemagardens.com

Christopher Joseph Ran into this on Netflix and not a bad lil flick to be a BET original Lorenz Tate put his foot into this and carried the film nicely keeping you on the edge of suspense with his con-man turned good guy character.Not that he was without serious flaws which made him more compelling.Was odd they started off with an unnecessary narration at the beginning which became an afterthought further in the film. Complete waste of time.The main villain the suspense worked up too nicely and then was a total letdown once revealed. Wanted to see a real bad ass represented and give Tate's character a challenge. None of the villains seemed worthy, like part time office jobs or something.His cop co-workers had more dynamics than the villains but their stories seemed incomplete.Also, okay, I realize it was made for TV but really was a full length film - so what the what was going on with the 'to be continued'?? I noticed they had left a sideline story out and when they finally brought it back up it revealed a confounding 'TBC' Really?? This film came out in 2011 - its 3 years later and nothing has been completed! Yo, that's foul!

niarby1 I watched this because Lorenz Tate is in the starring role. No surprises on that score. He definitely delivers. And this riveting film kept me glued to my seat. The film's twist on the usual good guys vs bad guys fare drew me in so much that I kept anticipating each new scene. And there was plenty of action! In fact, the entire cast pulled the plot off extremely well and Tate shines in his dual role. This portrayal of two very different brothers is one of his best. The action is well paced and the script resonates in this believable story full of subtly delivered "what ifs". Viewers who like action and drama with a bit if mystery thrown in will love this.The surprise ending will leave you waiting for the sequel and hoping for a network drama.

gavin6942 One one brother (a cop) dies, another brother (a con man) steps in to take his place.This is actually a really good film. The plot is clever, the acting is good. You might not expect much for a made-for-TV film, but it is every bit as good as what you would see in the theater. Also, being made for BET, you might think it caters to a specific audience. Not so. This is a film for anyone who likes crime stories.Seeing how the lead character weaves between the police department and the underground world of meth dealing in Queens is quite interesting, very well-written and executed. Hopefully with it being on Netflix, this will gain some traction and pick up some extra viewers and positive word of mouth.
