Customer Reviews

This "movie" is beyond terrible...
I don't know where to begin. This movie is brought to us by none other than "Jake" from the movie "Fresh". You may remember him as the guy who kept screaming "I'ma dead him deader than dead!" I guess this movie is funny in that it is so awful. It's like watching "Cabin Boy", only it's meant to be serious (I think?). Ok, so you've got a band of outlaw cowgirls or whatever who apparently used to rob banks. The group consists of actress Marie Matiko (don't hurt yourself, I'd never heard of her either), LisaRaye and "Ebony" from "Player's Club", a Lil' Kim who keeps blowing on her guns (do I really need to make a joke about this?), and somehow Stacy Dash was even duped into being in this movie. Also in the movie, there's Bobby Brown with an eye patch...actually there are quite a few people throughout this movie with eye patches, I'm not sure what the deal is with that but you could have a drinking game while watching this movie and drink every time you see an eye patch. Then there is Macy Gray... I don't get her part at all. Oh yeah, there is also a brief cameo from Mario Van Peebles that makes no sense whatsoever. The dialog is atrocious, the outlaw chicks look like they are shooting a video for a Nelly remake of Kool Moe Dee's "Wild, Wild West". The plot, if you can call it that, is just flat out stupid. Still, I could not take my eyes off this movie. It's like watching a train wreck or Jerry Springer - there's this morbid curiosity to see just how bad it can get.I recommend watching it only if you and a friend are bored and want something to laugh at and make jokes about later.

No! Some terribleness!
This is "The Symphony" with women at film-length. Yes, the idea of women of color as outlaws in the West is novel. However, whereas "Posse" contextualized race in the West, this film leaves the issue absent. You mean to tell me that nineteenth-century racism and sexism wouldn't have impeded black and Asian women!? C'mon! Mario Van Peebles makes a guest appearance, but if you blink you'll miss it. And it's random too! But the thing I hate the most is the anachronisms here. Hello! Women of color 100 plus years ago did not wear midriff shirts a la Destiny's Child. These women were in pants though American women didn't start doing that en masse until World War II. Second, women had braids, twists, and weaves that I have NEVER seen in an American history book. Third, phrases are thrown around like "chill out!", "You're acting like a female dog!", and "My ex-boyfriend taught me that." (Boyfriend arose as a word in the mid-twentieth century.) Obviously the directors here didn't do the research that Julie Dash did for "Daughters of the Dust." The film can be read a lesbophobic. When I found out who the mystery woman was at the end, I almost choked. There's a reason why this terrible film went straight to video.

Unbelievable....
Ok, I just kept thinking this can't really be as bad as it seems...it just got worse the longer it went on. Stacey Dash was the only one who could act and even at that - I just can't believe it was so bad - it takes so many people & so much money to make a movie - didn't any of those people say "this really blows..."? Bad editing, Bad writing, Bad acting, Great premise, terrible execution - and last but not least, Bobby Brown & L'il Kim...
