Strays

Vin Diesel's Strays 1997 movie is a classic independant late 90's movie era. Super Dope! "Rick is a small time drug dealer and bouncer in NYC, who's tired of the long string of one night stands and wants a lasting relationship. His 3 buddies are not looking for change." Director - Vin Diesel, Writer - Vin Diesel Stars - Vin Diesel, Joey Dedio, T.K. Kirkland, Mike Epps, F. Valentino Morales, Suzanne Lanza, etc.

Wow, this movie was better than I expected. I thought it was going to be all about drug dealing and street thugs with a little romance in the mix. But I found it to be a romance story with a little street life in the mix. I found the character of Rick (Vin Diesel) to be very vulnerable and needing something more in life. He just wants to be loved, truely loved. Not just for the way he looks or acts but for who he is when he stands alone. I think the story shows that Vin can really embrace the role of a character who is romantic, and I hope to see more of him in these type of roles. Overall a great life changing movie and I was still thinking about some of the lines several days after watching the movie, so watch and enjoy.

This movie get s bad rap by people who take it too seriously. If you just sit back and ignore the implausibilities and enjoy it for what it is, then "Strays" will give you a fun and sometimes quite frightening experience. SPOILERS AHEAD! The premise couldn't be simpler; a couple with a little daughter in tow, move into a house taken over by a bunch of Cats. Led by a big grey feline with freaky eyes and a snarly meow to match, these kitties don't want anyone invading their territory, and set out to make life for this attractive family a living hell. Blending elements from "The Birds" and "Of Unknown Origin", is genuinely scary in spots and works better than you would expect from a made-for-TV movie. The last half hour, set on a dark and stormy night, is the very definition of chills, thrills and grab-you-in-the-dark jolts. To put it simpler terms, "Strays" is a blast!

The premise of Strays sounds bad ass, as a family battles a militia of sadistic, feral cats, but this made for television production fails to live up to the concept and we’re left with a mediocre experience instead. The narrative is solid and has all the right openings for chaos and madness with the cats, but again, the movie is just way too restrained. This could be because of the made for television roots, as there’s little violence or over the top craziness, both elements that are much needed in a tale about murderous feral cats. The movie is able to deliver some moments of hope, such as the horde of cats around the crib at one point, but those instances are few and far between, sadly. Instead of putting the feline menace as the focus, Strays opts to lean on dialogue driven scenes about mild family drama. Why a movie about killer cats needs so much bland, forgettable dialogue I don’t know, but less generic talking and more wild cats would have worked wonders here. The pace is quite slow, spiked here and there by the cat appearances, but I was bored more often than not here, which is not how a when animals attack picture should go. I suppose for cat horror enthusiasts, Strays is worth a peek, but otherwise, it is hard to recommend. Visit my site for a full review!

If ever there was a movie that should be in everyone's home, this is the movie. Vin Diesel wrote, directed, produced, and starred in this movie with a wonderful supporting cast. The storyline is totally credible and heart-wrenching. And Vin even sings in this movie, and really good, I have to add. I was not a fan of Vin until a year ago. I didn't have a clue who he was, but Boy! I sure am a fan now!!! He is amazingly talented!!! No wonder his movies sell like crazy. Buy this movie!!! You will love it!!!

Vin Diesel wrote, stared, directed, produced this. excellent movie, but may be a bit disturbing for some in parts. Steven Spellburg saw this at the Sundance Film Festival and was so impressed he wrote a 30 minute bit into "Saving Private Ryan" for Vin Diesel, his foot into Hollywood. I highly recommend it for all Vin's fans.

As stupid as it may seem who's afraid of a bunch of cats really ? I'd be drop kicking , punching , hitting them with any item around but it's a movie so you have to suspend belief a little other than that it's a fun little thriller and worth a view or two decent cast as well.

Although I liked this movie and it was good quality I just wish it would have been available in a regular dvd and not blue ray

Bonjour bon et bien juste quelque lettre pour arrêter les alertes de commentaire non fait ... Bonne journée Cordialement à bientôt

Okay this is not a good movie in any sense of the word amazingly cheesy Goofy Movie and I love it it's about a family gets terrorized buy cats yeah that's basically the story and that's a problem that would have been cans of tuna is catnip if you're going to watch this movie have some friends over and just enjoy the ride do not take this movie seriously and that's why I love it it's just a fun movie to watch with friends 10 out of 10

great film, one of those type of films which you can watch over and over again. Would recommend to others

Ich kann die Rezession meiner Vorgänger nachvollziehen. Wenn man den Film nicht versteht, kann er schon langweilig wirken. Ich hatte meinen Spaß an dem Film. Ich kann Vin Diesel verstehen, dass er diesen Film produziert hat. Es geht um Freundschaft und um das was wirklich im Leben zählt. Zu lieben und geliebt zu werden. Alles andere ist unwichtig, sogar seine Angewohnheiten oder langjährige Freunde. Ich finde es sogar schade, das Vin Diesel nur noch Action-Filme macht, außer natürlich Find me guilty. Mich erschreckt es schon sehr, das mittlerweile, Filme mit Dialog gemieden werden. Die Action Filme in denen nur noch zwei Worte und dafür viele Special Effects vorkommen, bekommen hier 5 Sterne......!?

Da ich großer Vin Diesel Fan bin, habe ich mir diesen Film auch angeschafft... Wenn man manche Bewertungen liest, steht da öfters drin, das der film absolut ein flop ist. Der Film ist Selv-Made by vin diesel aus dem jahr 97, hat zwar mal ab und an komische dialoge drin, wo man denkt hey sowas würd ich auch hinkriegen (drehbuchmäßig)...aber im großen und ganzen, fand ich ihn unterhaltssam, und durch die am anfang etwas proletischen konversationen auch lustig!;) Wer VIN DIESEL mag der sollte diesen film umbedingt mit in seine sammlung aufnehmen.
