Riot (1996)
Tries very hard and pretty much succeeds.
This film tries its hardest to deal with the LA Riots from all sides. it
kind of fails a bit but mostly it's a great film. It's got Melvin Van
Peebles in it, what mroe do you want? A proper late night TV film that I have now seen 3 times just by
chance. Mario Van P is his usual SUPERHAM self and Luke Perry
puts in a good performance as a "cop/Vanilla Ice from Cool as Ice
lookalike" and it's all good fun in a hard hitting issues based film
kind of way. I like the way they incorporated news footage. That works.
The latino quarter of the film is the weakest cos the main kid sucks
the proverbials in a major way.
Watch it, it's good.
