Quickly, Travis finds himself thrust into a position to defend his family and neighbors from the punks who terrorize them on a daily basis.

This was a cool little urban Thriller that obviously went straight to video but that doesn't mean it ain't good because it is good infact it's great fun like a distant cousin of the Death Wish franchise!!! Ghettoblaster is a fun little Thriller in the vigilante genre about an ordinary guy standing up to the gang crime in his neighbourhood & it has some cool & funny scenes & makes for fun late night entertainment. A very good movie worth finding if you enjoy these types of low budget straight to video Thrillers? i love them

While I did not pay for a movie ticket for this film I had felt like I had just wasted 8 dollars at the AMC Cinema. The movie "Ghettoblaster" was completely predictable and had stereotyped any type of "drug dealing gang banger" in its rightful terms. The plot I can't even describe to you in full because I don't even know how or where the story and the plot ever really takes place. The characters as much as you want to like them don't even become likable. They are just there. Bruce Willis could have starred as the lead hero character while Nicholas Cage or any or devious villain could have been the head of the drug lord boss in this movie and they still would not have been able to keep my attention. The long of the short of it, instead of even spending a dollar on this film go out and spend time with friends family and loved ones. This abomination of a film needs to be kept in a vault and not be seen by the likes of anyones eyes ever again. I am sure the director of this film did the best he could, and the actors and actresses put forth their best efforts but the entire script should have been looked over more carefully before even being put into production. My buddy bought 200 plus films for 50 dollars and this I can honestly say is one of the movies that came upon the arrival of his purchase. "Ghettoblaster" is toast in this man's mind.

This movie is very good. It features a middle age working class man that comes back to visit his parents. the neighborhood is ruled by a gang called the hammers. when they murder his father he is forced to take over the family owned business. did i forget to mention that this guy is also an ex military guy trained in urban extractions? The Gang is mostly old school Latinos. I say this was well worth the 2 bucks i spent. I have watched this movie twice. includes drive by shootings. crucial beat downs and torching. There's a new power on the street. One of the gangsters wears a hair net, its pretty funny. as i continue to ramble on i do suggest this movie. if you only like high quality movies than just pass this one by. If you can handle some cheese than find this movie and watch it!

I bought the movie at a nearby Best Buy for the bargain price of $1 -- so I thought. After watching this extremely low budget, low talent movie, I wish that I could get my dollar back and spend those two hours walking the dog or cleaning my shoes. If you have absolutely nothing better to do and are in desperate need of something to do - read a book!
