Warning: Spoilers
This is another projects drug dealing movie. The first part of the film consists mostly of young males talking on the phone calling each other the N-word and dropping the F-bomb with very high frequency. The dialogue was sad as there appears to be an overflow of testosterone. Finally someone is killed and the wrong N-word is blamed for it. At this point the action "lets loose" but for some reason I never felt the intensity.

At the end of the film there are two scenes: one is with the drug dealers and the second one is with the detectives. The drug dealer scene was shot with a bright sunny, noon time sky and the cop scene which was happening at the same time was shot at sunset...you can hear the insects chirping in the background. A classic Ed Wood error. Bad acting and a bad script. Don't let the 1 star rating fool you. It wasn't that good. Go find a 50 Cent film to watch instead.

Urban indie thriller is a slog to watch

RAZORBLADE CITY is a black urban indie thriller made and shot in Baltimore. It's about a guy who is framed and hunted by hit men but the story is nowhere near as interesting as it sounds because the film as a whole lacks momentum and suspense. Instead it goes through the motions throughout; the acting is far from bad but everything else about this movie is beyond dull. If it had a little more kick, and a little more drive, then it might have been acceptable viewing material.

If there was a zero for a film this would be rated such.

This film I only came upon by chance and only as a result of having actually downloaded one of these free and terrible downloadable streaming service channels called " Film Rise " . Which might as well be called " Film Mildew " if not for providing a few worthy titles in film and TV that save it and make this service even semi tolerable . Semi tolerable as this service, typically like the other free ones , still includes the abundance in expected commercials and barely adds new content and barely changes out old .

Prior to this garbage I was watching " Rampart " which is another Indie type Film , but unlike this film we are rating here called " RazorBlade City ", well Rampart for all intents and purposes would fall under the A list Indie type film. As it was released in theaters after its original Indie showing and it has a good A list caliber ensemble class cast such as Woody Harrelson , Sigourney Weaver , Ice Cube , Steve Buscemi, Anne Hech , Jon Bernthal , Cynthia Nixon and even a young Brie Larson among other names . That film , despite all the irritating commercials, was indeed worth its watch . After it finished I had to go and walk my dog and I left this streaming service running in the background in the meantime . When I returned I was greeted by this garbage that only came on automatically in my absence . In the same way train wrecks draw a morbid attention and curiosity so did this film as it was hard to turn away despite how bad it was. Though simultaneously I felt paralyzed to change the program because even though it was so bad , well , ironically it was so bad to the point it actually began giving me some mild entertainment through my mocking and laughing at the film . Be that as it may I got about half way through this film ( amazing this can be called a film ) and was distracted mind you while attending to other chores and duties , before I finally decided to pull the much over due plug on this bull sheeet. So soooooo bad . Amazing if this film had a budget over 5 bucks , a food stamp and a milkshake. I bet you half of the cast in this film were so ignorant and unaware of how the industry truly works they likely foolishly believed their participation in this " film " might lead to something of a career on the big screen and or prime time TV . To that belief then I would say to any of you " cast " members who were ignorant enough to fall under this delusion , well , I think you were mistaken and then I also have this one final and closing question for you . How is it like now working retail now since this " release " ?

Gun toting action packed!!!This movie was fun to make and easy to watch .. From scene to scene the characters keep the audience entertained. The diversity of the characters allows for a intertwined and twisted plot that links them all. From king Leroy to bling bling , Razorblade city tells a story about the people in and around our lives, but anything can happen when you mix guns, money , drugs, and greed.... In a city that won't take no for an answer... Baltimore!! It Ain't Easy Being Greezy so next time tour sitting at home doing nothing .. Hop on the web and head over to maverick ent . And buy yourself a copy it is a great movie and was made by Maryland actors in and around Baltimore..
