Streets of Vengeance (2016)

A failed attempt to recapture 80's straight to video sleaze.

[1/10 · 4 September 2018]

Really wanted to like this movie. It's a low budget feature, I think it had a $4000 budget, so they did the best with what they had. It's competently shot, definitely captures the vibe of the straight to video movies from the 80's. Unfortunately, the acting is terrible, even for b movie standards, and the plot is boring and drags on far too long. Best parts of the movie for me, was the awesome synth soundtrack, and Joanna Angel, who was a significantly better actress than the lead, but is relegated to a single flashback sequence. Even as a fan of trashy cinema, I strongly suggest giving this one a pass. I think the filmmakers had good intentions, but weren't able to pull it off.
