10th & Wolf (2006)

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Great! Another movie about life in Philadelphia that isn't shot in Philadelphia. Even better, the generally fine cast sounds like they're from Brooklyn. Is it so expensive to film in Philly that you have to go to Pittsburgh?For those who don't know, Phillly is, for the most part, flat as a pancake on a tilted table (excepting the Manayunk/Roxborough area) and the buses say SEPTA on the side. I mean, come on, you couldn't send a cameraman to the other side of the state for some B-roll footage?Pittsburgh is a great town, but it doesn't look anything like Philly.Other movies set in Philly not shot in Philly: • Devil (shot, I believe, in Montreal) • Baby Mama (New York) • Next Day Air (Los Angeles)Seems that the Philadelphia Film Council is really falling down on the job. No surprise there.

Reading the cover the story seems un-original but with what seems a quality starring cast I viewed it without expecting much and upon the final scene I was right. First the use of Dennis Hopper and Val Kilmer whose parts totalled no more than five minutes, Val Kilmers character Murtha served absolutely no point what-so-ever and made me realise the only reason for the 2 big names was to give the film some oomph! The acting was good, and characters came across as believable and Giovvani Ribisi cast as a gangster boss broke the normal mafia mold. As for the rest of the film Brian Dennehy looks in his 70's, why would a man this old still be working frontline for the FBI? During the big gunfight no one ever re-loads their gun, Good guys are always winged in the arm or leg but still manage to hobble around in not much pain! Think how much a paper cut hurts not imagine a massive chunck of flesh gets torn away could you stand the pain and keep on going. I know this happens in most films but I'm looking for reality. On the whole average,average,average. Hire or buy Infernal Affairs or Departed instead

Yes, over. Giavanni Ribisi "over"acts terribly. All the characters are "over"wrought." The dialogue is cliché-ridden and "over"written. There is an "over"abundance of "guest stars" like Val Kilmer (slumming in one quick scene) and Dennis Hopper (two scenes). To be fair, there are a couple of tense scenes and it was fun seeing rocker Tommy Lee mumbling his lines. But everyone is this movie is either a killer or a moron, resulting in a story in which there's really no one to root for. You too will be glad when this movie is "over."Rating: 4/10

I just rented the DVD and was looking forward to seeing it after the preview. It had to be the directing because it was almost good. Renfro was a victim of multiple personalities and Ribisi , although I wanted him to do well, was just over the top ridiculous. And yes the cameos by Kilmer and others were so short that it felt forced and just dropped in because they were available for a few hours. I should have known it was a stinker because there really wasn't any buzz about this film. I don't know what film these other people were watching but this was pretty bad . there were just to many things wrong with this film to name. Maybe a division of Wal-Mart started making movies. Its the only way to explain the decent cast and terrible outcome.I'm sure you will agree.
