| Crazy Six (1998) Cast:Rob Lowe, Burt Reynolds, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles, Thom Mathews,Ivana Milicevic Rob Lowe stars as "Crazy Six" a drugged out thug who decides to pull a sting on a mobster (Ice-T) along the way he's doublecrossed by his partner (Peebles) and marked for death in the process, to make things worse his girlfriend is kidnapped and his only two allies are his best friend (Thom Mathews) and an old lawman (Reynolds) in this ambitious but completely bizarre movie. I say this without a doubt, of all the websites dedicated to B.movies, I swear I have to be the most forgiving when it comes to Albert Pyun. Seriously, the guy has made a slew of terrible movies but has also made some fun movies like The Sword And The Sorcerer,Dollman, Nemesis, Kickboxer 4 and Mean Guns. So with that I rented Crazy Six, oh I also forgot to mention that Pyun also has his interesting failures like Kickboxer 2 and Bloodmatch. Which genre Crazy Six ultimately falls into. Well to start things out, Pyun has labeled the city in his movie "Crimeland" and the credits are hot pink, oh Van Peebles has a laughable French accent, Reynolds looks like he's playing Smokey again and well Rob Lowe just looks glum. This is an interesting movie, not so much because any of it works, It doesn't. But because with everything Pyun throws everything into this second-rate mobster flick and along the way makes a movie that amuses more so than involves the audience. Indeed the always welcome Thom Mathews is always a plus, Lowe, Reynolds, Van Peebles and Ice are alright in the roles and the movie is filmed like a music video but things are so daft, in that not only does Pyun try to make a mobster movie but also lots of concert footage to an Anti-drug movie! Sadly this movie just doesn't work, but seriously how could it? You have too many bizarre ideas as well as way too many styles of actors who don't blend together. Plus Pyun's style is too hap-hazard for him to make this into a workable movie. Still it's an interesting failure to say the least. D.Albert Pyun** |
