Motives 2 - Retribution

Product Description

It's been three years since Emery Simms was wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit. Emery's best friend Brandon (Blakemore) and ex-wife Connie (Fox) are now married, running a successful restaurant and nightclub in Atlanta. Their lives change dramatically, however, when Simms is killed in prison and new evidence emerges as to Brandon's role in the framing of his friend. When Emery's long-estranged brother Donovan (White) enters the picture, he becomes determined to unearth the explosive truth behind his brother's downfall. New motives, deceptions and lies are revealed, but the closer Donovan gets, the deeper he'll get himself into trouble, and the greater the possibility of lying in a grave, right next to his brother.

Motives 2.......2007-08-25

I finally sat down to watch this sequel during check-in at Morehouse College and I can't say whether or not I was disappointed. This wasn't as sexy as the first, Sean Blakemore simply read his way through the part, and Joe Torry basiclally played the same role he did in Poetic Justice. Brian White gives a dead-on personification of Shemar Moore's role in the first film, so it was believeable that he was an estranged brother. I thought the plot wasn't as tightly wound as the first, but everything seemed to pull together at the end, which kinda didn't make sense: did Connie plan to use Brandon all the while? That was a lingering question for me.

And what was Drew Sidora's role in the movie? I thought her character was way too needy and infrequent for me to care about.

This one was ok........2007-07-03

The first "Motives" was better in my opinion, although, this one did bring about closure to the first one because of what happened to "Shemar Moore's character in Pt. 1. I was glad to see that justice kind of prevailed.

Payback Can Be Great.......2007-06-18

If you saw Motives you had plenty of questions about the future well Motives 2 answers those questions. You need to see this if you saw Motives. It picks up a few years later and it gets right into it. Greed will get anyone killed and this movie shows it. No matter who you are the wrong motive will come back on you. You must watch Motives first though. So watch Motives then watch Motives 2 and have a great evening.

Puzzling.......2007-06-14

I think Motives 2 is an excellent movie, even though, one must have watched Motives 1 to fully understand this twisted mystery. Napping in between settings is most definitely not recommended.....Put on your P.I. thinking cap!

Good Movie.......2007-06-13

This is a good sequel from Motives 1. Do buy. I enjoyed it.

Entertaining film version of Iain Banks novel.......2007-06-03

While any film adaptation of a novel necessarily loses scenes and condenses characters, Complicity (or Retribution in the US) stays true to the heart of the story told by Iain Banks back in the early 90s. Jonny Lee Miller (of Trainspotting) does a fine job as Cameron Colley, a cynical leftist investigative reporter in Scotland who becomes linked with a series of deaths which have occurred across the country after he had written a scathing article which called for the violent deterrence of so-called white collar criminals such as corrupt politicians, arms dealers, and corporate raiders. Is Colley the killer or has he been framed? This film is a stylish mix of suspense, mystery, humor, and a little bit of kink, and I highly recommend it and the novel it was based on, Complicity by Iain Banks.

Let the fun begin..........2005-07-23

Infinite Ryvius starts to turn seriously trippy in this volume.

Kouji has his worst day yet as the Ryvius experiences total chaos when a broken, guilt-stricken Juli steps down from the captain's chair. In addition to hiding Blue and tossing him non-perishable food items when he can, Kouji also has to deal with a breakup with a now obviously fanatical Faina and - most difficult of all - the complete meltdown of his best friend Ikumi, who takes over the Vital Guarder and threatens to go medieval on the whole Ryvius if everyone doesn't behave themselves after he finds out what happened to his girlfriend Kozue. One bit of good news, though. Yuki finally stops beating Kouji up on sight. Ah, brotherly love...

As the volume comes to a close, we finally find out why the interplanetary government wants the Ryvius destroyed - and that the policy of wiping out the kids if necessary is not universally accepted. A large part of the finale is shaping up to be the question of whether attempted killers or rescuers will reach the kids first.

It's also shaping up to be Kouji's moment of truth. Blue, ironically now one of the sanest people on board, makes Kouji take his gun when Kouji tells him what's going on as the situation escalates as Ikumi's reign as captain begins. "What would you do if you were in my position?" Kouji later asks the former dictator who for all his considerable faults may actually have been the Ryvius' best captain. "I'd use what you have stashed away in your pocket" Blue answers bluntly. "Right away."

O.K. DVD.......2005-08-31

Well when I wrote the two reviews that I had written before, for Damage Inc. and Exit Sandman, nobody else had written a review for them. Somebody did write a review for Retribution but I will write a review so that I may practise typing. The first match was between Vic Grimes vs. Psicosis. Vic Grimes had somewhat had the match well in hand before he won the match. The second match was Konnan vs. Damien Steele. Konnan fought real hard to win that match. The third match was Kaos vs. Pogo. It was a close match. The fourth match was Supreme vs. Steve Rizzono with T.J. Rush helping. It was a slow and buffoon match but you have to believe that Supreme is a good wrestler after that match. At first the match is one sided with T.J. Rush helping Steve Rizzono so that both are attacking Supreme. But Supreme gets T.J. Rush out of the way so then its just him facing Steve Rizzono, and he wins. The fifth match is White Trash Johnny Webb vs. Sandman for the XPW World Title Belt. It is a close match. The last two matches are bonus matches. One is Super Dragon vs. Disco Machine. It is a close match with Excaliber helping Super Dragon sometimes in the match and Super Dragon wins. The last match is a three man free for all. Preston Ascott III vs. Angel vs. G.Q. Money. It is a close and furious match with Preston Ascott III with his legs on the ring ropes pinning Angel while G.Q. Money is pausing and looking away.

XPW what happened???.......2003-07-16

OK I am a big XPW fan and this is a pretty bad video fromthese guys. There's really no great match on this video. And it is wierd that this happened because they put out so great action and this video lacks that. Here's the run down.

'Vicious' Vic Grimes vs. Psichosis. Now how can you put a highflyer like Psichosis up against a 300 pound hardcore wrestler. The match was pretty lame and nothin to shout about.

Konnan vs. Damien Steele [loses Leaves XPW]: this was the second best match on the tape and it wasn't all that great. The winner of this match would get an XPW title shot at the champion at there next show. So some good moves put on by these two!

[King of the Deathmatch Title]: Supreme vs. Steve Rizzono. This was a great match but there was no sound to it, it was lame. There were some good moments in this match but it was not the best. It is the best match on the tape. I can tell you that much.

[XPW TV Title]: Kaos [w/ The Enterprise] vs. Pogo the Clown. This is ok match, the dumbes match on the tape all together but it was a match.

[XPW World Title]: Webb vs. The Sandman. I am a bigg Sandman fan and this match he was a big joke. The worst title defense I think in XPW history. And the ending is so lame I don't even feel like typing it here it is so dumb.
