    For Serious Action Fans Only!
    Well, there is no doubt that crime is a serious problem in LA and, if over/bad acting was an effective means of fighting crime, the citizens of LA would have nothing to worry about and would be sleeping with their front doors unlocked and their car windows open every night if all the cops were like these guys. I love macho, invincible hero action flicks like this and LA Wars is a thoroughly entertaining viewing experience that any true fan of the genre should enjoy. Granted, the plot is total nonsense, but it does show some interesting glimpses of reality that one might apply to real life. For example, if you ever need to know the location and name of the guy controlling the drug activity in a large city, one need only pay $50 to a homeless guy. Also, one learns that bullets from two guys blasting at you with fully automatic assault rifles will automatically be directed at the bartender directly across from you and that the term "sleeping with the fishes" now refers to a guy who was hung by the neck instead of thrown in the river or lake. The film also demonstrates the undeniable fact that all mobsters are greasy Italians with names like "Vinnie". You get the picture. This movie is totally hilarious, dumb as hell, predictable, cookie-cutter Action/Adventure schlock at it's finest and all movies should be this good. Recommended.
