Summary: It's Dirty Harry with a Jamaican accent!
Review: A Jamaican "Dirty Harry" is the quickest way to sum up this movie, and that is a complement.Paul Campbell plays Capone, a tough cop who has just been transferred to Kingston to help get a handle on the crime scene there. His first assignment has him going back to his hometown on the trail of some stolen guns. As fate would have it he runs into his buddies from childhood including his best friend, Ratty. Unfortunately Ratty turns out to be the right hand man for the local crime boss. The picture quality of this DVD is excellent as it was shot using digital cameras which makes the transition to DVD a perfect match. I wish it had been shot as a widescreen feature instead of full-frame, but I can certainly understand them not making that decision. BTW, during the scene where Capone is using a laptop computer, be sure to notice the names of the folders on the desktop! - moviesforguys.com

Summary: The "Invincible" Third World Cop
Review: A one-of-a-kind movie that must be added to your "Jamaican" collection. It is authentic, unique and superb in content and quality! I give extreme credits to all the outstanding Jamaican actors who, without a doubt, outdid themselves. I sincerely hope this movie gives each of them the credit they deserve and that this is the beginning of a prospective future. Above all, great respect to Paul Campbell and Carl Bradshaw for their outstanding performances.

Summary: Chris Browne RULES
Review: Chris Browne's film had my attention right away. Not only is it a great story in the tradition of John Woo, Brothers on the opsite sides of the law but has the same grim ending of all great Woo Films. THe DanceHall Sound Track really keeps the film pumping. The use of video in this film really makes me believe that films can be shot on video and have the same impact as somthing shot on 35mm. This film is really worth your time. Chris Browne Rules as a director and I hope he gets another film here in the states

Summary: Better than Dancehall Queen!
Review: I bought this video because it had some of the same actors as "Dancehall Queen" and boy did I get my monies worth! I like that Paul Campbell, the bad guy in "Dancehall Queen", is the hero in "Third World Cop". I enjoyed the interplay of action, drama, and comedy. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed "Dancehall Queen" and does not mind some non-graphic violence.

Summary: a must for dancehall fans
Review: if you love dancehall this movie has a bit of a surprise for you. ninjaman, elephantman, nitty kutchie, boom dandemite, harry toddler, and cutty ranks all have roles in this movie; which is a cop versus gun dealer type flick. the dvd is full screen and shot in cheap video format, but it still shines despite these flaws. the soundtrack is very good despite containing no tracks from the aforementioned artists. i wonder if this is what ninjaman has been doing lately, because he does have quite a substantial role in this flick, and doesn't do bad at all at the acting thing....

Summary: Third World Harry Callahan
Review: If you've ever wondered what it takes to succeed as a cop in a Third World country like Jamaica, writer/director Chris Browne has a simple answer for you -- be as ruthless as the criminals. But despite the charisma of lead actor Paul Campbell ("Dancehall Queen"), it's hard to root for a lawman with an itchier trigger finger than all the bad guys in the film combined. Consequently, his childhood friend, Ratty (Mark Danvers), a dancehall promoter by day/gunrunner by night comes across as the better man simply because he's that much less violent. Of course, it's possible that we're meant to see Ratty's importing and distribution of weaponry as the *means* by which gunfire continues to fill the air of Kingston Town as loudly and as insistently as dancehall. But never fear! Campbell's Capone, like De Niro before him, proceeds to "wipe the scum off the streets" until there's no scum left to wipe. And that may very well make him a successful cop...but at what cost? That will have to wait for another movie. Nonetheless, fans of Carribean culture will probably want to check out what has become the most successful Jamaican film of all time (despite camera work that often makes it looks like a home movie). Music by Sly and Robbie and featuring an appearance by veteran actor, Carl Bradshaw ("The Harder They Come") as Ratty's boss, The Don.

Summary: One Wicked Movie from Jamdown!
Review: Massive, this movie totally eclipsed "Harder They Come" one of Jamaica's finest. This action packed film highlights the struggle of a Jamaican cop who has to returned to his former stompping only to discover his brethren from his youth is on the wrong side of the law. A gripping tale of blood, guts, and a traditional yard style humour, seen.
