 Bobby Z March 9, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Tim Kearney is an incarcerated former Marine who is offered freedom by DEA agent Tad Gruzsa in exchange for impersonating recently-late drug lord Bobby Z. Things don't go as planned, however, and Kearney ends up on the run with Bobby Z's 12-year-old son. While it's no worse than much of the action movie junk that makes it to theatres, Bobby Z, originally entitled The Death and Life of Bobby Z, is a action thriller with Tim Kearney (Walker) as the hero. Filled with head scratching twists and cornball dialogue, this is not exactly a brilliant movie. Yet it's got a slick look and at least a few passably enjoyable action scenes. This movie is funny, entertaining and I enjoyed it.
 Good movie October 24, 2008
Rebecca Logerquist (Loami, IL)
I liked this movie, it has attitude. Kept my interest easily, good acting and good plot.
 Kinda Dissappointed September 9, 2008
T. Blake (Queens, NY USA)
First of all I didn't think that Paul Walker and Jason Lewis looked anything alike. The similarities stop at the blond hair and blue eyes. Second, the movie overall didn't held my interest. The fighting scenes were good but thats about it. I'm not sure if it sticked to the story because I've never read the book but I plan on doing so. The acting wasn't believable to me. I couldn't take it seriously.
Not Bad July 12, 2008

This movie deserves more respect as far as an action flick is concerned it is excelent. Now lets not compare it to the godfather or some other masterpiece. It is what it is a good entertaining action movie.
Different - but not all that bad! February 20, 2008
Angela L. Brown (Cape Coral, FL)
I actually enjoyed the movie. I will admit that I felt lost in the beginning but as the plot unfolded, things started to make more sense. I believe the director intended for the viewer to discover the reason behind the chaos in real time, as the character did. In other other words, I don't think it was supposed to make sense until the end. Once the entire plot was revealed, the motivation behind the actions of the main characters became more clear.
Though not a blockbuster, the action was enjoyable and the some of the the scenery was absolutely beautiful. If you like "colorful" characters, off-beat humor, and a plot that is not "spoon-fed", you may want to give Bobby Z a spin.
