Urban Massacre (2002)

You know that awful feeling you get when the movie starts and you realize it was a bad idea to decide to watch it?  That's exactly  how I felt about this one, but it threw me a curve. Because it's an even worse feeling when you get at least a half hour into a movie and begin to wonder if it's supposed to be a comedy.

Hip hop group Tha Supanatchralz are an up and coming group who everyone wants to manage.  They hook up with the wrong guy who rips them off. Then a mafia guy comes along who wants a piece of the action.  And all the while, a stupid clown is starting to off their acquaintances.

There are lots of characters in this film. Every time you think you've seen everyone, they introduce a new character. It never stops and it's pointless other than needing more victims for the clown.

And what's up with that ending? We've caught the clown so let's take off his mask.... oh no, we're not going to show you who the killer is until part two. Yup, they actually tried to pull that trick. Hasn't everyone learned that all that does is piss off the viewers who've just dedicated an hour or two to a film that doesn't pay off?  And now you're saying I have to watch another crappy movie? Screw you!

They must have got a less than stellar reaction to the ending since there's a tacked on segment that says the killer was really the twin brother of the mafia guy. Yeah, another screw job because there was no twin brother in the movie.

Yup, it ends like this.
