The Wounded (2003)

When a group of rival gangstas are locked up in the same cellblock, chaos and brutality erupt. Prison counselor and martial arts master Nick Takalano is committed to saving them from a life of crime, gangs, and violent sex. Eventually, the prisoners are put to the ultimate test when their prison bus is hijacked. Finding themselves in an area where racism rules, they are forced to fight for survival in an all-out gang war against an inner-city, blood-crazed, devil-worshipping cult. LOMBARDO BOYAR (The Bernie Mac Show), ANDREW JOHNSON (The X-Files), and SAMMY ROTIBI (Tears of the Sun) round out the intense, urban cast in this bullet-ridden tale of brotherhood and redemption. The blazing hip-hop soundtrack featuring the music of AZTLAN UNDERGROUND, DJ CHEMEK, and HIT SQUAD enhances the action and adds to this explosive cinematic masterpiece. The Wounded shows a world where lives are imprisoned by fear and violence, but souls are liberated by larger-than-life heroes! ! The Wounded will bleed all over you!!!

don't let the little Troma logo fool you.

this movie would have been okay, had it not been totally boring. if you want a description of what "the wounded" is like, i would say it is like a home movie that draws inspirations from "american history x" and "one flew over the cuckoos nest." it is far from good though. the acting sucks big time and nobody has any flare in their acting. you just get shots of random guys running through the woods. i understand that it is an independently made film, but it was filmed in 2003. im sure there was better qualities of cameras 3 years ago!

also, was that saddam hussein i saw as the counselor guy? i could have swore! February 9, 2006
