Alright Everyone i Am Series I Do Like This Movie So Much, I Thought Dave Baustia Had Really Good Acting In This Movie Hey Script Might be bit doggedly, but doesn't make movie SO BAD Like what another people say, this movie is actually pretty good written, i don't understand what everyone problems about this movie, expect Officer Down was Pretty Boring Then This movie, this movie is full on thrilling then Officer Down Believe Me. I Thought Story of this movie is really good theirs good twist. i thought it was really well done like it's simple movie and very short like Rush Hour Movies. Ray (Dave Baustia),an ex-con AKA EX Cop, is starting a new life looking to stay out of trouble. He Is Bouncer nightclub he works for, got robbed buy thugs robbed and the Vinnie Marcella (Lyle Kanouse) he is a owner, and his son got shot dead. Ray criminal past is exposed Ray hunts for the person responsible for this crime in an effort to clear his own name. Ray must get to the bottom of this as both the mob and cops start to close in on him as their target suspect. and Villain as always Tony (Dominic Purcell) as everyone knows him and he's character is pain in butt a lot he is not really good villain that much. his in it there and there not much in this movie. to cameos like i always loved (Danny Trejo) as Carlos wasn't much in movie sadly i really wished if Dave and Danny would have scenes together more of them together. Jenny Porter (Amy Smart) Crank & Crank High Voltage. she is in it a lot in movie helps Ray out of his case. now in all movie it's more of Dave Bautista and he play's really of series role but ok their is little problems of movie it may look funny not not funny as in Parody movie But It's One of These Movies Where Bad guy try's to shot lead character but misses well First of All Dave is lead character and if his character dies in movie then who is lead role ? who would be hero at of day his character is hero they all do that in movies, it's Not a big problem with that it's movie forks it's all movie but Dave Character Ray is in really series case and going threw dangerous situations, finding out all these mystery all that but witch is good it's thrilling keeps you watching and watching until end it's not very long movie at all . script would be bit silly all that i understand writing is bit confusing but doesn't make movie everyone confusing leaving them with depends how you understand it. but there's not much confusing in this movie then to Officer Down. When you watch Officer Down Same director Brain A Miller directed this, well look this is more of simply story and script that's it, it doesn't go for longtime slow burning movie. well Slow Burning movie is Officer down for example that's most confusing movie you will ever watch then this believe me i would say give this movie a watch noting really confusing expect for script a bit, but doesn't make you feel your lost in direction. Dave Bautista in this movie is soo great in this movie strong performance because most of his another movies he play's cameo not much of lead role but hey Bushwick good luck with it, it's most disappointing movie then this, if you like happy endings go for this one, Bushwick i understand it's Dave but this movie is better then that.

theirs not much i could write because i don't want to spoil movie it has twist in middle of movie makes you watch a lot more, believe you will enjoy it, it's not really bad as it looks to be with annoying Critics, believe it's not waste of your life long as you don't check out Officer Down that's another Brain A Miller movie witch he did House Of Rising Sun then he did Officer Down, This movie is a lot better. Dave not be best actor like Dwayne Johnson but he is great actor has a lot of strong performance in this movie now it's not Oscar's award winning movie. this movie it's great give it a look running time is 1h 30min but at end of credits it would be 1h 29mins of movie.

Well, "House of the Rising Sun" proves to be no grand thespian experience. I mean, just look at the cast ensemble, and you essentially know what you are in for.

The story is about former dirty police officer Ray who is now working security detail at an illegal casino and brothel. After a robbery Ray finds himself framed for the robbery and murder and must go to extreme lengths to clear his name.

It should be said that the movie is entertaining enough for what it was; a somewhat bland action movie that was running on autopilot and offering nothing to challenge the intellect of the audience.

Now, I mentioned that this is not a grand thespian experience earlier, and with names like Dave Bautista and Dominic Purcell at the lead, well, enough said. Bautista moves about with the grace of a bull in a China shop, and Dominic Purcells hair just gets taller and taller with each movie.

There were a couple of adequate action sequences here and there, but it was not sufficient to lift up the movie and bring it above mediocrity.

If you enjoy action movies, then your money is better spent elsewhere if you want a movie with just an ounce of content. However, if you enjoy pointless and predictable movies that are devoid of anything to stimulate your intellect, then by all means spend an hour and a half on "House of the Rising Sun".

A crooked ex-cop working as head of security of men establishment (a cross between casino, brothel and lounge) has to deal with a robbery that costs the life of the owner's son. He gets blamed and is forced to investigate. Obviously it was an inside job and somebody is trying to benefit of the scheme.

Dave Batista is not as charismatic as the Rock but is humble and likable. I never saw him doing the super-macho or super-hero. He plays his parts as just big regular guy not particularly bright. In fact he gets his ass kicked quite often. Craig Fairbrass, Amy Smart and Dany Trejo are always good particularly in small parts. Dominic Purcell is the type of personality that can play the bad or the good guy easily (but as baddie is better). So considering the pedigree; it is pity that the story get lost about half of the movie. The main character never realizes who is doing the betrayal neither some some skilled killers.

So why the first half of the movie is promising; the second part becomes too obvious and not interesting as it should be. You can basically predict everything that happens.

In brief; it is acceptable and never boring; but deserved a better script and perhaps a better director.
