Sitting at 8.0, I said sure, I'll give it a spin.
"Full Circle" is a low-budget, urban gangsta flick. Think "El Mariachi" in New York, but not quite as good(mainly due to Rodriguez' deft touch with the action sequences).
I'm putting this on my "B-movie-marathon list".
The film's strongest asset is it's humor. There are some great lines in here. Clever, abundant humor. By far the best thing about this flick.
The film has some stylish touches that help overcome it's production challenges - from some musical touches, to character back-stories, to it's hard-edged city-scope - "Full Circle" is well worth a look.
The acting is sometimes suspect(the lead was good), but overall the film does an amiable job considering what I'm sure were limited resources. What little effects that are here are also suspect. Not good.
I know that at the time of posting that this will be the lowest review. I was going to go with 7/10 which is a good rating and fair, because of the humor, and for staying true to what it wanted to be, but I just can't. It's good for what it is, and again very funny at times, but it's not a 7/10, not for me anyway.
I still recommend it. It definitely has an urban-edge that we don't see enough of in movies. It won't hold at 8.0 for long, but even if it settles around 6.7-7.1(which I suspect it will within a few months), that's quite an accomplishment for a film of this stature.
63/100
I agree with some of the other reviewers that this is definitely going to be a cult-classic.
