* Cast *
Jesse Metcalfe- Tristan Price.
Tristan Price a young wealthy man with a bright future until he meets Sebastian Cole. He is determined to enjoy life his own way and is fed up of his father controlling his life. He is a strong minded character and has his own morals and values.
Jesse Metcalfe- Is a young successful actor. He has acted in many popular shows and films. Some of these include, Desperate Housewives, Smallville and John Tucker must die.
Corey Large- Sebastian Cole
Sebastian is a hugely successful drug dealer who seems to have everything, fast cars, amazing women and expensive guns. He is also very manipulating and can attract young people into the world of drugs very easily. He is a dark and mysterious character and you can see he does not give away a lot about himself.
Corey Large- not a very well known actor but he has been in a few shows and films that I have heard of. Some of these are- Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Freedom and Cold Feet TV show.
Vinnie Jones- Mr Black
Even though Mr Black is not a major character he still plays a vital role in the film and is the head of the drug dealers. All of the dealers have to report to him and he arranges everything. This part is very well fitted for Vinnie Jones and he plays it very well.
Monica Keena- Brooke
Brooke being Tristan's fiancée is a very well respected and proper girl. She has a lot of wealth and does not have a lot of backbone. She seems like the perfect women beautiful, wealthy and with a bright aspect on life.
Monica has also played her role in a lot of well known shows and films which I did notice her from. A few of these consist of- Ghost Whisperer, Greys Anatomy, CSI, Freddie Vs Jason, Dawson's Creek and Man of the House.
Nathalie Kelley- April
April is a young sexy stripper and lives with Sebastian and his men. She is there for their pleasure and when she meets Tristan she is the own who keeps him coming back to their drug fuelled lives. Even though she is living with the gang she does seem to care for Tristan.
Nathalie Kelley is an uprising sassy actress and has only been in one other film which was a huge hit- Fast and the furious Tokyo drift.
Other Cast members-
- Chace Crawford- Hayden Price - Johnny Messner- Javon - Jimmy Jean-Louis- Antonio
* Opinions *
I quite liked the film. The story was pretty good not really anything different it's quite predictable but the few twists at the end made it superior. It had well known actors and they acted very well indeed and were well fitted for their roles. Liked the way that's Vinnie Jones was not the main character even though he played a vital part he wasn't seen in every other scene. The director Alan Pao is not well known to me, he has directed a few films that were successful but not popular that I knew all of them. Some of these are- 'Chasing Ghosts' and 'The Penthouse'.
I quite liked the character of Tristan as there are properly a lot of teenagers who can relate to him some way. There is always a high risk of being exposed to violent people and there is in this period of time the pressure of drugs and crime for young people. I think it shows a good moral message for teens that even though drugs seem to be an easy option for an easy life it does not pay in the end.
The action is always flowing so you do not bored with the storylines and it has a very good soundtrack to the movie.

* Recommend *
I would recommend this film to anyone who likes action and adventure. This is my favourite kind of genre so I really enjoyed it but I think a lot of others will as well as it is an exciting and well made film. The film is an 18 which I think is suitable for all the drug references. Violence and sexual scenes.

Advantages: A masterclass in ranting Disadvantages: No extras
1997's Lock and Load is the DVD release of an HBO showcase TV special featuring Denis Leary's stand up comedy. As Leary is very much an 'adult' comic, the DVD carries a 15 certificate due to the strength of language and sexual references. If this type of thing offends you, please don't read on, I'll put some quotes at the end, and even though I'll disguise the fruitier words with ***, I'm sure you'll still guess.
For a more detailed background on Denis Leary see the review for 'No Cure for Cancer,' but he is an Irish-American comic and actor with a confrontational, aggressive style, and is recognisable from extensive film and television drama work, most recently the hit series 'Rescue Me'.
The Set:
Compared to 1993's classic No Cure for Cancer, the delivery still jackhammers along, punctuated with breathlessness and anger, but ...
Advantages: Brings Back Memories Disadvantages: Predictable
Herbie - Fully Loaded
Chequered Flag
As you will be able to tell by looking at the films I have reviewed, my girlfriend and I enjoy light hearted, easy going fun films and 'Herbie - Fully Loaded' falls into this group, so with the usual poor selection of TV programs over the festive period we decided to rent the DVD.
The film is one of many recent remakes of old classics this time bringing the worlds most famous Volkswagon back from the scrap yard (literally). The film focuses on the
Penton family, dad Ray (played by Micheal Keaton) owns manages the struggling Penton Nascar racing team, who have a single car driven, rather unsuccessfully) by Ray Jnr (Breckin Meyer) and finally there is the very cute daughter Maggie (played by Lindsay Lohan) who has just graduated from college.
As a treat for graduating her dad gives her ...
