Viewing Notes

aka MELTDOWN

Another Columbia TriStar release that is English dubbed with a hip hop soundtrack. Wonder if this has gotten a solid Blu release. Thought for sure I had seen this since I’ve owned it for years but nothing rings familiar. This is supposed to be a action comedy but gd is it so violent and mean-spirited it’s hard to accept any of the attempt at humor.

Curious why the terrorists brought hundreds of snakes with them to a jewel heist.
