Summary: One of, if not the best movie I've ever seen!
Comment: One word. Three letters.
WOW!
This movie has it all. A great cast, an explosive story, and wonderful plot.
John Leguizamo is absolutely amazing. And David Caruso has never been better.
Now if it were only available on DVD.

Summary: Worthless
Comment: Take a look at that web site dedicated to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty to experience the true 'body count' behind this dispicable picture. The film makers want you to sleep easy knowing that the families of these murderers got their 'cut'. If you want to find out just how low American cinema can go then grab a shovel and dig up this video. Take a friend though, you'll need to work in shifts.

Summary: Old fashioned suspense
Comment: Throwing 5 unlikely, and seemingly incompatible actors together to make such a serious and somewhat suspenseful could be called miraculous, I call it good directing. This movie gives you a chance to grow attached to the characters, no matter how greedy they might be. And the ending, surpisingly, caught me off guard.

Summary: A violent and cruel movie
Comment: Body Count, David Caruso's last film, is a surprisingly entertaining, violent thriller, about a bank assault that goes very wrong, throwing the members of the crew into a rollercoaster ride. Although this story has been told million of times by Hollywood, like in Burt Reynolds' upcoming Pups, Body Count has some particular qualities that make it original, hot and intense. The cast is great, actors like Ving Rhames, Joe Leguizamo and even Donnie Wahlberg deliver their jobs with mastery and talent. Rhames, who was excellent in Don King, is charming and brilliant as the most controlled member of the crew, and even in a small part, his presence is powerful. Leguizamo has in the film the chance to prove that he is in fact an actor with great dramatic potential, is too bad to see him in bad comedies, wasting his capacity. Caruso is a regular actor, he is still waiting for his breakthrough role, and in this movie he can show that he is excellent when he has something good in his hands. Body Count is a violent and terrific movie, if you want to buy it, do it, this film follows the same tradition of memorable cop-dramas, such as Sharky's Machine, The French Connection and many others!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A fresh, realistic crime thriller!
Comment: Have you ever seen a cast that fit there roles better than this... David Caruso plays one-hell-of -a tough guy, (and is truely convincing) Ving Rhames as the crim with a heart of... Bronze, John Leguizamo as a homicidal maniac who could kiss you one second and blow your head off the next, Linda Fiorentino as the not so trustworthy hitchhiker, Forest Whitaker as the man with the plan and Donnie Whalberg as the token Weakling. Don't expect lots of action, but do expect great acting and some nice, honest crime noir twists. Then you won't be disapointed.
