The Death And Life Of Bobby Z (DVD)

Marked for death by a biker gang, ex-Marine convict Tim Kearney (Paul Walker) just got one last chance to walk out of jail alive. A scheming DEA agent (Laurence Fishburne) needs somebody to impersonate recently deceased druglord Bobby Z... and Tim happens to be a dead ringer.

It's a risky proposition, but if Tim plays his part right, he may be able to claim Bobby Z's smoking hot ex-girlfriend (Olivia Wilde) and a cool fortune in illegal profits.

Unfortunately, taking on Bobby Z's name also means taking on his bloodthirsty enemies. Caught in the crossfire, Tim runs for his life as he tries to find a way out of his deadly masquerade.

Review This Product

Maybe I expected too much, but this was so disappointing. Lazy performances from Walker and Fishburne surely didn't help. And added to that, you have a weak script which is overly complicated but rarely makes any sense. A waste of time, and easy to see why it wasn't even released in the cinemas.

This undemanding action thriller is remarkably entertaining! After some of the reviews I'd read prior to checking it out for myself, I was fearing for the worst. So it was a most pleasant surprise to find that it's not really at all bad at all. If anybody is letting the side down here, it's the normally-reliable dramatic actor Laurence Fishburne! Somehow, he doesn't seem to treat his role seriously enough. Particularly in the opening scenes, he almost seems to be playing his part for laughs. Paul Walker tries his best and gives full value for money; while romantic female lead, Olivia Wilde, is almost as easy on the eyes as Catherine Zeta-Jones - and that's saying something! By no means a great movie: I have had to sit through plenty worse throughout my lifetime. Verdict: sufficiently satisfying action entertainment
