****SPOILER ALERT****Hood Angels does exactly what it says on the tin. The cover is a perfect summary of what is to come. The film is filled with outstanding, heart pounding action scenes featuring intense and truly brutal fight sequences. But don't let that make you think that 'Hood Angels' is your typical AAA Hollywood action film because it is not. There is a serious amount of sympathy for our 3 protagonists as they are arrested for crimes they did not commit (much like Andy Dufresne). To draw a link between 'Hood Angels' and 'Shawshank Redemption' wouldn't do the film justice. You cannot help but endure that sinking feeling as Cinnamon, Traci and Felicia are thrown into jail. Genius director Paul Wynne then continues with the heart break as lead character Nitro (played ingeniously by rapper 'Juvenile') is violently murdered. Thankfully the film doesn't try to tick every box and avoids the temptation to delve into comedy. This only adds to intensity of this films action and overall success.Le Jon's performance as the mail-room clerk is nothing short of breath- taking, it is rare that the movie industry runs into such a young yet talented actor.The moment the credits rolled was the moment I whispered the word Oscar. 10/10

Somebody get the mop because this thing needs to be cleaned up. I have seen some awful movies and this is right up there with them. Should that really surprise anybody? Anyway, its set up like a cheap version of Charlie's Angels. Except these girls come across as 'ghetto hood-rats', mind the slang lingo. These girls can't act, can't shoot, can't punch, can't kick, but like to dress up like they are a cheap lay. And no, not a pretty cheap lay. But none of this should excite you.I was also amused at all the bad camera work. The "too-focused" scenes and all the bad slow motion work. Yawn.Overall, really cheap. Only an achievement to those with a $10 budget. "F"

This film was a failed attempt at recreating an urban version of 'Charlies Angels'. Don't get me wrong it could have worked if they had a better director and people that could actually act. I did not feel any chemistry between the three lead actresses all they did was say the lines. Also the way the three of them hook up in the end with the men is just ridiculous,in other films people get together naturally or there is a subtle hint that they might get together. Not in this film it was just like right your gonna be with him, you with him and so on. The action scenes were rubbish so unreal, they didn't have me hanging of the edge of my seat at all. I know that they had a low budget but there is so much they could have done. Some of the greatest films were made on a low budget i mean look at 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' that was a fantastic film. The case of this film fools you and so does what it says on the back of it as when i read it i thought it sounded really good. I still advise anyone to watch this film, as it is a good example of how bad a film can be and it gets you thinking how it could have been improved.

OK this movie was worse then a b grade porn movie. I was even convinced that the chick that played traci was in this porn movie i had seen. I still dunno if it was her. The sound track was probably the best bit of the movie. The story line is good. But If it had better directing, better actors it could be a good movie. Maybe down the future they might decide to do a remake. If not can someone pleaseeeeeeee suggest it.. I so wont be recommending it to anyone i know. Cept for a bad movie night or something.The bit that made me laugh in the movie. Was when they were sitting in the office and they were about to be tied up with the tape and then the chic i cant remember her name gets the gaffer tap and she gets knocked to the ground by nitro. And then when nitro is getting to the girls they are all tied up.
