PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

kevinbarron-66143 It's a direct to video release. If you're looking for an Oscar winner, look elsewhere. I saw it on Netflix. Reminded of the slew of bad action movies I enjoyed renting back in the 80's and 90's.To wit, I am known as the king of bad movies. Love 'em. I enjoyed it for what it is. A bit low budget. Not as gory as some reviews would lead you to believe. I will say this, if the the star, Alexander Nevsky, could lose the heavy Russian accent, he'd make a helluva lot more sense as Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise.

megangmegan I can't believe how boring this movie is. The acting was bad, the chemistry was bad, the script was dull. The plot was a good one they should have been able to do more than they did with it.Blood and gore alone do not make a great action/mystery movie (or apparently even a good one). I could not wait for it to be over.

Larry Silverstein Apparently, this is a 2014 movie that is just being released on DVD, and which I found in Redbox. Set in Los Angeles, it centers on the search for a serial killer, named the Black Rose Killer, as a black rose and a cryptic message in Russian are left on the bodies of each mutilated victim.Set in Los Angeles, so far five young Russian women have been murdered in the tight knit community of West Hollywood. A LAPD Captain (Robert Davi) has decided to put a fresh team together to try and track down the psycho killer, so he imports a brazen Russian Major (Alexander Nevsky) to pair with a rookie female detective (Kristanna Loken),The rapport and chemistry between Nevsky and Loken was pretty effective and there is some decent humor sprinkled throughout the film. However, overall, I found the dialogue and most of the acting to be quite wooden and stilted.There's also loads of cold-blooded killings, bloody torture scenes, and grizzly showings of the dead victims. As the movie progresses the body counts and the carnage just multiplies. There's a big twist at the end, which I didn't guess, but which by that point I didn't really care very much about.All in all, can't recommend. To note, there were no subtitles on my DVD copy, except when Russian was being spoken, but I was able to use the closed caption option on my remote to get the subtitles.

Nik Aleksandrov Trendsetter Aleksandr Nevsky brings yet another engaging, action- filled movie to the big screen. Its name is «Black Rose». This is not typical average-quality action film like «The Expendables» or «The Terminator» it is top-notch motion picture. When LAPD is completely powerless against a sadistic sociopathic killer, it calls up to invite Russian specialist major Kazatov (Aleksandr Nevsky). LAPD had this series of murders investigated by Kazatov. This film served as great entertainment with its breath-taking sceneries of affluent Los Angeles. I really loved Kazatov punishment style, because this guy doesn't afraid to break the rules and he never gives criminals a chance to live. For example, the moment when major used a «Desert Eagle» to shoot for five times at a thief handbags. In addition, Nevsky used actors that had either appeared in his previous movies like «Treasure Riders» or «Moscow Heat». Overall, this is a great movie with an excellent action and the god most loved actor. Furthermore, in a newsworthy press release I read that Nevsky is going to make a follow-up to «Black Rose».
