3 Strikes (2000)

Synopsis: A second-time felon is about to be released on parole. A third conviction would mean a minimum of 25 years in prison. He asks a friend to pick him up on his release day but said friend cannot make it so he sends a third person, who is driving a stolen car. The police orders them to pull over, but the driver shoots at the cops instead. The protagonist escapes the crime scene but is videotaped. The police looks for him all over.

Appraisal: The plot doesn't make much sense (1. the police has no grounds to incriminate him; 2. he has no reason not to turn himself in; and a not worth mentioning etc.). The development is unimaginative and so is the sense of humor; the result is just barely watchable. Note: I have seen a mutilated version; apparently some nudity and sex scenes have been cut off, and all the curses and fuck-related words have been silenced.

Rating: 31
