The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

But... Unfortunately I didn't and stuck around for the remaining 59 minutes.Ready To Die is a classic Notorious BIG album, but Ready 2 Die (with a oh so clever change from the word 'to' to the number 2 instead, to signify this movie is 'hood' if there was any doubters who'd think otherwise, because that's how they do it in the hood, spell words wrong and type numbers that could replace words etc) will never become a classic... Anything... Not even a classic Asylum movie.TBH, I don't think Asylum actually financed this movie cause it feels and looks really low budget, and considering how low budget Asylum's usual movies are you know how ridiculously low budget this must be right?I think it's safe to say that they spend more money on getting a cool poster than they did on (trying but failing) to make a cool movie.The movie is basically a deadly game of hide and seek about a group of robbers trying to hide with their new found wealth from gang-bangers with guns trying to steal their riches (how dare they?) and cops with arrest- warrants.That might sound like fun, but it really isn't, and the acting is terrible, sure the actors might look the part with most of the cast playing moral-free latino gang-bangers, some to the point where I wonder if they didn't hire real gang-bangers in some of the roles... Cause they sure enough didn't hire real actors.Fun fact: the f-word is used 187 times... per scene.I mean I've seen Noel G in other movies where he was alright but not in this one though.Yeah don't waste your time with this one, it's not worth it.To paraphrase Jay-Z: "Like I told you to watch Ready 2 Die, No... Hov did that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that"

The first thing that strikes me about Ready 2 Die is how well director John Azpilicueta utilizes limited resources and makes this feel like it had a much bigger budget than it probably did. The cinematographer in particular places you right in the action, as if you're a character in the film getting pulled through the action. This documentary feel was a smart choice for the story, as it ups the intensity, especially in the action scenes (which include one of the best car chase sequences I've seen in a long time). Not all of the acting is top notch, and there are some sound problems that would prevent this film from landing a perfect score, but there's enough good about it that it ranks as "very good- excellent" and is more than worth the watch.

I ticked the "spoiler" box simply because saying this movie is a disgrace to any movie of any genre is giving the entire movie away.The only reason I watched this flick was because I used to own a 67 Cougar and given the advertising is all about the car I watched assuming the car played the main role....for all intents and purposes it would have been more interesting if the movie focused on a dead still 1967 Cougar for 80 minutes and went no further then that other then to roll the end credits.All I can say about positive reviews on this movie is the people who wrote positive reviews must have had something to do with the movie and wrote favorable reviews to try and increase its sales / distribution.However all they have done is increase an audience that will tell it like it is, and that is BLOODY HORRIFIC.The script is dire, the actors (if you can call them that) are dire, the makeup is laughable, the drawn on tattoos are horrible, the wounds that are literally peeling off are a joke, this movie has NOTHING going for it, the supposed car chase is clearly done at the speed limit and is nothing but a boring laughable introduction to a movie that goes no further then the beginning as it is the same all the way through....laughable.I would usually say something like 'if you don't believe me have a look for yourself' but I will beg you to please DON"T LOOK, this movie is not worth the $10.00 budget it was shot with, in fact I'm pretty sure they would have had change from that $10.00.Please I beg you, don't watch this movie, not now not ever, a total waste of 80 minutes of my life that I wish I could have back.I would have given this movie a zero but IMDb wont allow it so it gets one star too many, and I'm sure others who were silly enough to go through the torture of watching this TOTAL CRAP would agree with me.WOEFUL! 1/10

If it wasn't for, agreed, the cool-looking getaway car Ready 2 Die would have had no redeeming values at all. It could have been fun if done right, in the end it just ended up being unpleasant and ineptly done. The scenery and lighting look dull and the effects are cheesy and rather amateurish, but the camera work and editing do them no favours. In fact, the movie's visual look was one of its biggest flaws, it is shot so cheaply and in such a rushed way that it is enough to make one feel nauseous. The dialogue is riddled with clichés, doesn't even try to make sense and is horrendously stilted, the constant joking at horrible things like shooting people in the face were I feel in very bad taste. The story and characters are a huge issue as well. The story has no fun, excitement, suspense, momentum or any sense of danger, instead it's plodding, predictable and tasteless with very little happening in the storytelling, events that you can smell a mile off and the joking that makes you hate the characters more. The characters are incredibly shallow and you never get to know or identify with them, instead they are very obnoxious and have no redeeming qualities(no humanity at all seemingly) at all basically. They are also so similar that even figuring out who is who and who's the main one is difficult. The acting are a painful mix of annoying over-acting and some not even trying, it's not worth bothering naming standouts because there's not a single good performance among the cast. You know that's something wrong when the getaway car upstages the lot of them. The direction is on par with the camera work in ineptness, particularly in the action scenes which are incoherent and lacking in pretty much everything. The music is at best forgettable and is often repetitive and overbearing. All in all, apart from the car there is next to nothing good about Ready 2 Die, there are worse movies around, but that is no consolation and certainly no excuse for this level of badness. 2/10 Bethany Cox
