Console best movie i've ever seen.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
adonis98-743-186503 Based on the true story of a Miami Beach nightclub owner who takes a young employee under his wing, while trying to avoid bankruptcy and the mafia. The bad thing about "Kings of South Beach" is that it tries way to hard to be it's own thing but as other people said already it does try to be something like Scarface meets Goodfellas but those 2 films had great acting, script and directors when this one has mediocre acting at best, a very dumb script and it's just pretty boring and for the most part nothing happens, if there's one good thing about it it's definitely the soundtrack because everything else it's just very disappointing.
Wizard-8 I think the true story "Kings of South Beach" is based on could have made for a good movie, but unfortunately under these particular hands the end results are rather lacklustre. The main problem with the movie is that it isn't very interesting or compelling. It moves at a really slow pace for the most part, with only a minimum of story; there is a lot of padding here. The two central characters aren't terribly interesting, unless you count the fact that there is some unintentional amusement with Donnie Wahlberg resembling Christian Slater. Wahlberg and Jason Gedrick do what they can in these roles, but because their characters are so dull there's about as much chemistry as rubbing two wet noodles together. It doesn't help that the entire enterprise has a really cheap feeling to it, which is no surprise given than the movie was made for television. You would be much better off rewatching "Donnie Brasco" instead of watching this wannabe.
markymark70 Donnie Wahlberg and Jason Gedrick team up again - they were both in the excellent Boomtown - but this time it just doesn't work. Gedrick is a night club owner in Miami who it seems is also dabbling in some money laundering with the local Columbian underworld. Wahlberg - we are lead to believe - looks like a small time hoodlum trying his luck away from the cold of New York. They team up and the film tells their story.But what is the story exactly? A lot of the film centres around the night club, drinking, smoking. Some parties and doing weights are thrown in but the whole thing doesn't make much sense. Any important events seem to happen off-screen where we - the viewer - have no idea what is going on. The thing becomes too hard to swallow and by the time the little twist (and I mean 'little') comes - we have gone beyond caring.The writer that brought us Goodfella's did not rediscover his golden touch here. Pileggi started to dip on Casino but this is a disaster. Although he doesn't exactly have De Niro, Liotta, Scorese on tap here. And this is just a TV movie too.On the plus side - the scenery is nice. Wahlberg tries his best. On the negative side - and there is a lot - Gedrick's character never comes through as believable, Wahlberg must have been told to be the most disgusting person in the world for his character, bad acting from many of the bit players (the Russians come to mind here), some poorly done car chases, a jumpy/chopped script, the wasting of both Bauer and Chavira and many more.Poor effort - 4/10.
dangkoen When I heard about this movie and found out it was based on a true story, I was curious. Because after Miami Vice, everyone likes to see shows and movies that use Miami as a main location. So I rented this movie expecting nothing special.Let me say it's a decent movie. The acting is OK, although Brian Goodman didn't look comfortable in some scenes with actors who didn't get the job done. But I could still get through that. The only negative comment I have on this movie is that it felt rushed and some scenes seemed missing. But overall, I give it a 6. Nothing memorable, but definitely worth a watch.
