New Crime City: Los Angeles 2020

About This Movie

So, 'New Crime City: Los Angeles 2020' is this wild blend of action and sci-fi with a touch of grimy crime vibes. It’s set in a dystopian future where Tony Ricks, a criminal who met his end, gets a second shot at life—though it’s far from a glamorous revival. The film’s pacing is kind of erratic, but that just adds to its gritty charm. You’ve got these impressive practical effects, especially for ’94, that really bring the futuristic prison to life, making it feel claustrophobic and dangerous. The performances are a mixed bag, but there’s something about the raw energy that keeps you engaged. It’s one of those low-budget gems that tries to tackle themes of redemption and survival in a world gone mad.
