Short Review

***Spoilers Ahead, Maybe*** The only description I read before I watched this movie was *A tenant helps landlord fight local street gang* so I was hoping for a Death Wish 3 type of movie.Not even close.I guess I should've read more before I started watching.Anyways, Angel Town started off corny & most definitely laughable (The entire movie was laughable to be honest) There are alot of things that will either have you laughing, cringing, shaking your head & going WTF?! Seriously?! The fight scenes are the best (Ha Ha) There are just too many things to mention here (If you're thinking about watching the movie & don't want me to spoil it for you, stop reading here) Things don't really take a serious turn until the local gang leader kills his girlfriend & tries to frame Jacques with her murder by planting her body in his room so Jacques turns around & gives her body right back to him by placing her body in the gang leader's caddy, while hiding in his garage.After that things got real & the movie takes on a darker turn.This is when I started actually getting into the movie.My favorite part has to be when the gang leader's caddy gets blown up.The entire movie he has his flunkies doing all the dirty work but when his caddy gets blown up, watch out!!! Now he's mad & ready to fight.Angel Town is a movie I don't think you'll watch more than once unless you're seriously into Martial Arts or Martial Arts flicks but for 1 hour & 45 minutes, you will be entertained.It's worth watching at least once
