It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

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.

This movie reminds me of nothing!! There are no movies out there that I can compare with. I am not a comments writer but first time in my life and the first comment. Here you go. After watching this movie I smack my head to the wall, then I register online so I can write my review, I had to make new email and validate registration, then I search the director of this movie and read more about this and that was it, I read number of reviews about this movie, I really can't believed that I watched the whole movie. The DVD cover shows Batista the main Character and he is no where but in few scene. (What is that?) The lady has big boobs out, what is that mean? RVD wearing sun glass in the night time, he was shot and fighting like nothing happen, his bullet was right up the top and he took himself out, and he dint even fell that, then he is on his way to fight the bad guys..(he look pathetic ) the most funny part, look for those 2 big guys bikers with goatee, the director could has get some one who is more fit in that role. They both look like from mountains and ready to ride a bike. There acting was so silly. I had to call my friend to sit down and watch this movie and the first 15 minute he started yawning and I saw he start sleeping. I felt embraced. I would love to write more but I just don't want to waist my time, I already did one half hour on movie and 30 min comments and making my account. This movie is HISTORY!!

"Wrong Side of Town" looks like the kind of action-thriller that either Stallone or Seagal could have made in their respective primes. Indeed, this David DeFalco epic appears pretty threadbare, but it wears its basic budget well. This is a formulaic, fist-for-fist, bullet-for-bullet, tough-guy actioneer that doesn't try to be anything more than it is. This virtually plot less narrative possesses a sense of spontaneity sets it apart from most crime melodramas which involve a complicated heist, kidnapping or something else. Everything transpires throughout an evening so it is somewhat unified in terms of time, place, and setting. The action takes place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and this is a fresh break from the usual metropolitan city. The performances may not hoist any eyebrows, but nobody looks like they were reading their dialogue off a cue card off-camera. Rod Van Dam looks more like a wrestler than a Navy SEAL, but then this is a movie. Aside from Van Dam's incongruous casting, writer & director David DeFalco has rounded up some fairly realistic genre types that we haven't seen before that adds some distinction to this minor action piece. Believe it or not, "Wrong Side of Town" has a couple of surprises so that it is not entirely predictable.The plot opens with the villains killing one of their own who informed on them. This scene introduces the chief villain and his lieutenants and provides us some idea about how dangerous they are. Later, the chief villain reprimands his worthless younger brother about not doing anything stupid. The younger brother who never does anything that he is told is a stereotypical character just as the all-powerful crime boss. A stupid, coked-up, low-lifer tries to rape Dawn (Lara Grice of "Soul Men")the wife of war hero Bobby Kalinowski. Bobby (Rod Van Dam of "Bloodmoon") is a former Navy SEAL intervenes in the nick of time. The low-lifer charges him with a knife and the our hero deflects the attack. The low-lifer collides with a sofa and accidentally embeds the blade in himself. Naturally, the restaurant/crime boss Seth (Jerry Katz of "Black Russian") blows his fuse when he learns about this tragedy. He orders his army of goons to kill our hero and he puts a bounty of $100-thousand on our hero. David Bautista has an incredible scene with Ja Rule in the park when argue about the future of our hero. A nitty, gritty, somewhat bare bones thriller with a bare-knuckled sense of humor. Literally, our hero and his wife go to the wrong side of town and have to fight their way back."Wrong Side of Town" is a realistic movie in the terms that everything that happens could actually take place. Although some contrivance occurs in the story, most of what happens looks genuine.

Ya i know yall want to take turns kicking me but you know what? I call a spade a spade and i wasn't bored once through this film. OK if you are a wrestling fan as i am RVD is RVD he really never gets excited about anything even when he won both the world titles for the WWE and the Tna. And Dave Bautista on the other hand i sense acting skills if they were drawn out persay by and acting coach. Besides these guys are cooler then the other side of my pillow. When i first started to see the teaser trailers last year for Stallone's Expendables the hair used to rise on my arms. Then when it came to opening weekend bang we were there and let me tell you the disappointment of 2010. No script and RVD is 10 times the actor Dolph Lundgren will ever be. Every single fan of the expendables i have talked to all say who needs good acting and script they blow stuff up! OK but the same people bulk at this? Hmmmmm? Anyhow enjoy your slagging i take on all commers!

This is one of those crap movies with poor actors. Rob Van Dam doesn't have a clue about interpreting, or what so ever! They managed to make every single fight into a "please guys, don't make me hurt you" scene. You already know exactly what is about to happen, since the first scene. Don't bother spending one and a half hour watching this! I will regret it forever! Bobby (Rob Van Dam) gets really hurt since the beginning and he is always OK during the fights. When they are trying to hide in the car park with the mercedez, Clay (Edrick Browne) parked the car with the lights on!!!! Then the bikes pass, the car is shown with the lights on, and in the next scene the car has the lights off! Completely bad produced and directed!
