 Beyond the city limits July 15, 2009

This movie was filmed in Hollywood in 2000, released in the Netherlands on DVD in 2001 under the title "Beyond the city limits", then finnaly released in the USA under the title "Rip it Off" in 2003. This is a very underrated film, it may have its flaws but I found the performances of the 3 female leads good enough to make it a reasonably good film, and viewers should take in to consideration the fact that this is only Gigi Gaston's second attempt at directing. I was glad to see Alyson Hannigan in a role that required more dramatic range than "Buffy" or "American Pie", I would love to see her in more roles like this but she seems to be mired in "Comedy" right now. The main flaw with this film is the poor editing, in watching this film I get the feeling that alot of good scenes were left on the cutting room floor. I would love to see a "Directors Cut" version of this film released with all these scenes restored.

I myself am a huge Buffy/Angel fan, I had read the reviews here and I thought it was worth a shot seeing it. Well The script was terrible, the story even worse, direction - don't get me started. One reviewer said it, it was like they didn't know whose point of view to choose. The soundtrack was awful. The ending was sooo stupid. did anyone else see the people at the docks leaning against the rail as three people are shot in front of them... they just keep standing there. Like nothing is happening. I really haven't seen a movie this bad in... well... EVER!! Oh and Alyson Hannigan's acting was way better in My stepmother is an alien. I think she was about 13 in that role. Don't get me wrong she's a extremely talented actress... I blame it on the script.
rent it, don't buy it. You'll be embarassed to own it. I am.
Sad excuse for a movie.... August 6, 2005

One of those cases where everything goes wrong in the making of a movie: low budget, unispired performances (Alexis Denisof is particularly bad here), lack of decent screenplay for the actors to work upon, bad direction, despisable characters, cliched situations... How Kinski chose to act in this one?!
Forgettable.... July 31, 2005

If you are willing to risk to watch this movie, just a warning: it's really a turkey, one of the BIG ones...

Never could have guesse that this movie would be so bad. COuld not reach the end of it, a very rare occasion!! The dialogues are so ludicrous, characters and acting obnoxious, I can't, I repeat, I can't understand how Alyson Hannigan starred this piece of... Shame on me for being such a BUFFY fan and having the bad habit of renting / buying anything remotely related to the cast of BUFFY....
