2 out of 5 stars Advertising Standards Award Winner ??   May 27, 2010
Nick G (London, UK)
I don't often write reviews but feel it's worth highlighting clearly what others have also mentioned. This is NOT a film staring Dave Bautista - it's a film staring RVD with DB coming in some 40-50mins of the way through - and even then the role is at best brief.

Allowing for this (fairly major fault for those that bought it for Baustista) you are left with a barely OK film with poor acting and an action star that is frankly unconvincing. (Once I realised he looked like an overweight, over bulky, older Van Damme I couldn't take anything seriously) Yes I made it to the end (just) but suggest I am unlikely to revisit for a second time.

If you want action / martial arts I'd highly recommend Blood and Bone or Undisputed II. If you want WWE then I'd go 12 Rounds / Marine (Cena a lot more natural) or Steve Austins Condemned. Give this a pass unless you can find it very cheap.

Great movie WWE and TNA wrestlers not a wrestling move in the movie full of action.

In Wrong Side of Town, a film that deserves some kind of award for having the most bogus and misleading DVD artwork in recent memory, ex-WWE wrestler Rob Van Dam plays a family man who gets in hot water with a vengeful crime boss, and has to battle his way out of it. Luckily, Van Dam's character happens to be an former Navy SEAL...
Look, this film is terrible. I mean, truly awful. For a start, the DVD cover features prominently WWE big gun David 'Batista' Bautista, but as Van Dam's old Navy buddy, he only turns up in a couple of scenes, and majestically unconvincing ones they are at that. Mind you, even Bautista has more screen presence and charisma that the woeful RVD, who, in terms of acting ability, makes his nearly-namesake Jean-Claude Van Damme (Van Dam originally adopted the ring name because he vaguely resembles the 'Muscles from Brussels') look like Robert Mitchum by comparison.
Featuring a shockingly amateurish script, softly-softly fight scenes that just don't cut it, and lots of appalling acting (even from the non-wrestlers), this film sucks on every level. It's the kind of film in which a man can get shot in the leg, only for the police to send him home in a taxi rather than ordering him to hospital. It's the kind of film in which the leading man arms himself with lots of guns and knives, and dresses in black for the final showdown with the villains, and slips on his sunglasses...even though it's the middle of the night. It's the kind of film in which, after beating up a load of street trash, one ex-military tough guy says to another 'Just like old times...'
It's also full of odd gambits that left me scratching my head, like the bizarre James Bond-inspired opening credits, a lingering shot of topless adult film star Stormy Daniels, and rapper Ja Rule turning up in a cameo part that should have led him to fire his agent; any day-player could have took the small role of the generic dirtbag 'gangsta' he plays here. Even in the largely worthless pantheon of dodgy genre pics that attempt to showcase wrestling stars in the lead roles, Wrong Side of Town hits a new low. Avoid, and then some.

A lot of wrestling fans will be tempted to buy this film because Bautista is on the front cover and featured in all the promos but the star of the film is actually fellow wrestler Rob Van Dam. Bautista is obviously in it and has menacing presence when he is on screne but Van Dam has to be the most wooden actor since Pinocchio. There is nothing wrong with this films production values, the picture quality is excellent and its presented in full screen but the story line is predictable and the acting downright awful. As a martial arts film it fails because the action isn't slick enough, it isn't thrilling and the criminals that pursue our hero across the wrong side of town are just unbelievable stereo types. If you must see it rent it but don't waste your money.
