You have to see this movie!!¤ 2) DVD DVD A Low Down Dirty Shame by Walt Disney Video. Wow - I loved Keenen in this role, and Jada was histarical!
If you like action packed adventure and stuff blowing up, you
will love this movie.¤ 3) DVD DVD A Low Down Dirty Shame by Walt Disney Video. A Low Down Dirty Shame is really no more than all the most familiar Cop movie clichés arranged in an order that makes a barely cohesive story. But it´s all the fun and silly action that occurs in between that really matters! It´s a bit like The Last Boy Scout from a spoof-blaxploitation angle.
Shame (Keenan Ivory Wayans) is a former cop who has been blackballed after a major drugs bust went awry, leaving several DEA agents dead. He now works as a private detective, taking on suicide missions for peanuts and barely scraping by. His disapproving secretary Peaches (a very funny and very, very small Jada Pinkett) wants him to get his act together but he´s too busy wallowing in self-pity.
His old pal from the DEA shows up and offers him a side mission to help get back at the Drug Kingpin who ruined his career. And so, with only a few clues, Shame begins his search and soon all roads lead to lies and deception. Like I said, the plot is certainly nothing special. But it does contain a helluva lot of laughs and decent action.
The one thing I can complain of is that the production design is kind of dated now. Action films have evolved so much in the past decade that watching ALDDS 12 years on can be a bit distracting. Wayans (who also directs as well as writing and starring) too often shoots non-actions scenes like a sitcom and his light-hearted editing may help remind you that this totally AIN´T a serious film but it´s a little TV-ish if you know what I mean.
If you find ALDDS for cheap somewhere or if it´s showing on TV then don´t con yourself out of a fun movie. High art is not what this film aims to be.
The DVD has a slightly soft 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer with a Dolby 5.1 sound design. There are zero extras.¤ 4) DVD DVD A Low Down Dirty Shame by Walt Disney Video. This movie is perfect. It has Comedy, action, drama, lots of shooting, I guess I would recomend this for all action lovers.¤ 5) DVD DVD A Low Down Dirty Shame by Walt Disney Video. Very funny action-comedy. There are some huge plot holes and sometimes the movie gets kinda silly but the movie was overall very entertaining. Very funny and energetic performance from Jada.¤ 6) DVD DVD A Low Down Dirty Shame by Walt Disney Video. Here´s the action-packed hit that´s armed with explosive entertainment and dangerously funny comedy! Writer, director, and star Keenen Ivory Wayans (TV´s IN LIVING COLOR) is Shame, a down-on-his-luck ex-cop turned private investigator. He´s hired by drug enforcement officials to track down his seductive former girlfriend -- and $20 million in stolen drug money! With his trusty sidekick Peaches (sexy Jada Pinkett Smith -- JASON´S LYRIC, MENACE II SOCIETY), Shame aims to make a buck and clear his name in what becomes his wildest and most dangerous assignment ever! Fast and fun, A LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAME is loaded with laughs and ready for action!¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 8-Jan-2009, 786936208863, 220-996-5HB-72B-2OB-7BB-TSB-8
