2 out of 5 stars Stephen Baldwin to the rescue!.......2006-07-06

Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects, Bio-Dome) stars as SCAR team member John who gets mixed up with nice hooker Candy played by the beautiful Tia Carrere (Relic Hunter, True Lies) when his SCAR team members invade a place and kill thugs along with two of Carrere's hookers friends. Baldwin helps Carrere escape before she is found and killed. Carerre tells her boss about what happened and her boss tells Baldwin's boss Laine played by Chazz Palminteri (The Usual Suspects, Running Scared) about what Baldwin did. So, he has a couple of SCAR members try to take out Baldwin but Baldwin eventually escapes and grabs Carrere as both him and her are on the run. Carrere is sexy and she has a wonderful singing voice and keeps this movie alive. Baldwin plays this performance in many of his other movies but here and there he has good moments but nothing special. Some of the action is good but it's not that great of an action/thriller. Also starring DB Woodside (Tv's 24, Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Michael Rispoli (Snake Eyes, Angie), Andrew Davoli (Room 6, Knockaround Guys) and Gary Dourdan (CSI, Playing God)

5 out of 5 stars A great surprise .......2005-10-14

I didn't expect the unsual suspects but what I found was a film with some great great moments. funny and caustic....a beautiful song by Tia.... some fantastic scenes made the occasional 2-D plot come to life with the fresh chemistry between the two stars!

3 out of 5 stars THE VIGILANTE FORCE.......2005-05-27

Once you accept the premise that a band of vigilante cops is sanctioned by higher authorities, SCARRED CITY is a watchable crime thriller. The stoic Stephen Baldwin does little to heighten his acting persona, but again his laconic often soporific demeanor works in his favor as the cop who finds himself a member of a group of lawmen who take the law into their own hands, ultimately becoming as vile as the perps they are killing. Chazz Palminteri and Tia Carrere are along for the ride, and Carrere shows a fine singing voice in a couple of songs she performs as the typical hooker with a heart of gold. The action scenes are well staged and although the plot itself is Swiss Cheese, it entertains and fulfills what you expect.

2 out of 5 stars Dirty Harry wanna-be........1999-11-29

A few shootouts here and there aren't what I call entertainment, but at least you won't be bored too long. The Usual Suspect's Chazz and Steven are wasted in this plotless peice of action, only die hard fans of action need apply.

3 out of 5 stars SURRISINGLY EFFECTIVE!.......1999-02-26

I went to my local video store expecting to rent some garbage, I picked this up and to my surprise it wasnt! its an action packed, well paced picture,with a good budget for something with the "nu image" company label. baldwin is good in the lead , i liked it kind of a lot...3 and a half stars. (out of five)
