Jump Out Boys (2008)

To me, this movie is perfection.

the audience applauded

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is a movie called " Jump out boys ", but was peddled as a film called " Lords of The Streets. " Watching this film one asks the question, why Kris Kristofferson? Was he just looking for work of any kind? He is a top notched actor and has proved himself in many other films. So why this film? I can only ascertain that the man is unemployed, and has to do something to pay the bills. With very little screen time, one can only watch the movie with patience and regret. The story is that of a Mexican Warlord who has the where-with-all to plan a superb Prison escape and then searches for his girl-friend accomplice who now works as a government informant. Indeed, after the daring escape, which is the best part of the film, the movie is all down hill as the ruthless leader, begins making mistakes everywhere. Kris Kristofferson plays Raymond, an aging New Orleans Officer, who gives his partner 90 percent of the story line and then humbly takes bows. The movie itself is poor, the acting is second rate and the rest of the movie is standard at best. It's far from a great film and one wonders if there is a refund. Except for some selected scenes, the movie is not recommended to anyone save those who are forced to sit through the rest of this second rate movie. **

Kris Kristoferson should be ashamed for taking a role in this garbage heap. The acting was horrible on countless levels. Honestly, not one strong performance (including Kris). Not even one "good" performance.The script was atrocious. The delivery was even worse. The acting quality was about on par with a late night Cinemax soft-core porn flick. The storyline was about as common and cliché as they come and seemed pieced together, disjointed and boring. And to boot, the video quality was very poor. I watched this in HD and it looked more like a VHS-quality movie - very grainy and low budget.How anyone can say this is a great movie is beyond me. What is wrong with people?

NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!Dreadful dialogues. No magic between the actors. The main villains are laughably weak, and there is hardly anything interesting going on at all. Uninspired scenario: The plot moved from implausible to downright absurd.Kris Kristofferson is too old for a movie like this. In the movie, his wife is ovulating! He's like 90 years old. The entire movie is filled with irrelevant information. What the hell is DMX doing in this film? Punisher wannabe for hire? It's a shame to hear Willie Nelson's name in a crappy movie like this! Don't watch it, don't rent it, ... Forget it!

3 faults with this movie jump out within the first 5 minutes.1) lousy camera angles (specially mid-way thru, when the main character is racing thru the city with lights/siren, and the camera is in a 'chase' car behind. while most directors would b sure to zoom in on the first car, instead the 'chase' car's lights are shown in the scene)2) having an inter-racial partnership as main theme. this has been done hundreds of times, and doesn't really work here. especially when it's an obvious clone of Miami vice. I think if both partners were African-American, the story would be more believable.3) IF you're going to do #2 above, at least pair up 2 actors that can carry the story. I loved DMX's character. However, trying to force the viewer to believe a 72 yr old man would be his partner is ridiculous.Anyone with common sense knows that there is absolutely no way any police force would allow a 72 yr old officer to be an 'everyday' detective, that would be cruising the streets on a daily basis. It would be highly likely that they'd be enjoying retirement, or at best, would be behind a desk. I would hope Hollywood has more imagination than to keep churning out the same old story-line, every time it wants to do a cop themed movie. How many more do we have to put up with, before we see something new?
