Good Cast, Solid Action

'Scar City' aka 'Scarred City' from dtv companies Millennium Films, Nu-Image doesn't do anything fresh with it's b-pic formula, but its another reminder that you don't mind when the action is carried out well. A big cast in Stephen Baldwin, Tia Carrere, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Rispoli and Gary Dourdan doesn't hurt neither.Officer John Trace (Baldwin) is already on shaky ground after three cop shootings in a year when he gets his fourth fatality. In steps Lt. Devon (Palminteri) who plants evidence and saves his ass on the condition he joins a SCAR unit made up of killers with badges. When this rogue unit with authority all the way from the top goes after a Bolivian drug dealer, John spares the life of callgirl and singer Candy (Carrere) which quickly puts the both of them on the unit's hitlist.The morality play on display here is super thin and not something to be thought of deeply. John goes from being a slight gung-ho a-hole himself with a disregard for perps rights to thinking this unit pushes it too far in the blink of an eye. Chazz relishes dialog as the head of the unit while Baldwin with his glazed style of acting is sufficient. Carrere provides her beauty and a partner in crime for the second halve rather than just be a stock damsel in distress.Between having seen other b-movies go over this same territory to it's 'walk the streets' credit sequence opening that had a suspect intro to our main character, I firmly knew where 'Scarred City' stood. If you're willing to look past a story low on believability this has a solid cast, few bursts of good action and doesn't waste time getting down to business.

Run of the mill action flick

I had the chance to watch this for free and I've got to say it was worth every penny. Seriously, it was not nearly as bad as it could have been. It's a decent if never surprising "action" movie with a bit of cleavage and lingerie thrown in. I felt that a lot of parts seemed thrown together and rushed, but I've seen a whole lot worse.

Scarred City is a pretty entertaining romp through the world of DTV police thrillers.
