Customer Reviews for 3 Strikes

Worst...Movie...Ever
I rented this movie almost 10 years ago and have actually taken the time to look it up on Amazon solely so I could slag it for being the worst movie I ever saw. While trying to ride the coattails of "Friday," the producers of this movie have given us a grossly juvenile "film" that probably set black film making back 10 years. Some awful stereotypes and much, much more offensively lame, lame, lame, lame humor ensues. This movie was so painfully unfunny that it actually was depressing. Long conversations followed on just how awful it was. Truly, this movie is just too awful to waste more words on, but please distance yourself from this stinker. DO NOT BUY!!!3 Strikes

Hilarious
I don't know why people criticize this movie alot. I guess they probably don'tunderstand the movie.It's a comedy which pokes at the LAPD and it's really funny for a low budget movie...3 Strikes

3 Strikes Indeed!!!
1 Strike for uneven direction.

2 Strikes for stupid acting.

3 Strikes = An OUT and OUT BOMB That should never have been made.

A lame thredbare tired uninspired story of a two time loser picked up from jail by his low life friends. In the car a gentleman shoots at law enforcement officers. Now the two time loser is a wanted man with a third strike looming large in his life when he was a victim of circumstance. YET ANOTHER Insulting racist stupid trite base humorED DVD movie with absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever. If you liked this ghetto comedy flick which I did not you will likely enjoy another DVD of this same ilk called HOW HIGH! another DVD ghetto movie that is just as bad as 3 strikes just the same basic garbage with a different name. Nothing new here.

Oh and for those who say I did not see this mess because, I do not detail how horrible it is. I saw 3 Strikes on a satalite TV channel during my vacation. I am just so happy I did not actually rent or buy this ripe stinker 3 Strikes DVD Movie.3 Strikes

Deserves Life in the bargain bin with no chance of purchase
3 Strikes...this puerile comedy about a two-time felon trying to avoid a life sentence was DOA from the opening frame. A screenplay full of stock characters and stock South Central jokes make a poor commentary on the California Justice System. In my three attempts to watch this movie all the way through I wound up turning it off around the thirty-minute mark each time.
To make a story like this work, you have to feel for the main character. Unfortunately he has no good qualities. He makes no efforts to do anything worthwhile. Getting out of jail, he goes back to doing the same things that got him locked up. In his attempts to clear himself he spends most of the movie doing a bunch of unfunny things that are supposed to be funny. I just can't laugh at car chases and shootouts in the inner city when so many young men and women die this way in real life. I can't laugh about a man throwing his life away going in and out of the prison system. To me, that's not a comedy. It's a tragedy. And the attempt to make this situation into comedy produces a movie bad it's criminal. It deserves life in the $5.99 Discount DVD bin right next to Ghost Dad and Nora's Hair Salon with no possibility of purchase.
