Better Than Its' Title, 26 March 2000
10/10
Author: David Austin from Atlanta, GA

Dead Boyz Can't Fly is a film that breaks the mold and harkens back to a day and age when exploitation films were dirty and cruel affairs. Films like this (Combat Shock and Satan's Sadists are other examples) that wallow in nihilism, hopelessness, and anger are tough going. However, this also gives them a meaning and crude energy.

Dead Boyz Can't Fly is the story of three goons, seemingly soulless and heartless, who have the sheer need and lust to inflict pain and suffering. This doesn't bode well for the art dealer who laughed at one of the goon's artwork, or anyone else who stands in their way.

As stated before, the brutality and anger of this film is shocking. Once you realise that the producer/director (himself a victim of a crime similar to the one in this movie) is using the violence as a means of catharsis, it seems natural. In short, Dead Boyz Can't Fly is perfect for the viewer who loved films like Last House On The Left or Fight For Your Life. Check it out.
