CRAZY SIX

Cinemavixion Review

Albert Pyun's "Crazy Six" plunges viewers into a post-Cold War Eastern Europe where the collapse of order has birthed a brutal landscape of organized crime. The film, starring a compelling Rob Lowe alongside Mario Van Peebles and the iconic Ice-T, navigates a treacherous underworld rife with arms trading and shifting loyalties. Lowe's portrayal of the titular "Crazy Six" is a standout, offering an unpredictable performance within a narrative that echoes the gritty, stylized violence found in films like "Smokin' Aces" and "Eastern Promises." While the plot delves into a spiral of betrayal and survival, the film's strength lies in its raw energy and the palpable tension of its setting. It's a visceral crime thriller that showcases Pyun's distinctive directorial hand in crafting a world where trust is a commodity and every alliance is temporary.
