Surprisingly not bad

(3 out of 5 stars)

"What is this you say, a Cuba Gooding Jr-starring straight to DVD film that actually isn't bad? That's what you get with Wrong Turn at Tahoe, in which Gooding stars as Joshua, the protege of small time crime boss Vincent (Miguel Ferrer). When Vincent kills drug dealer Frankie Tahoe (Noel Gugliemi) without realizing that he works for uber-crime lord Nino (Harvey Keitel), the blood and bullets start to fly. No holds barred in its violence, Wrong Turn at Tahoe is pretty much a pastiche of every better crime movie to come before it. That aside though, the film works thanks to its stars, and Gooding definitely gives the best performance probably since Men of Honor. The real surprise here however is Ferrer, who's appeared in everything from Robocop to Traffic to Crossing Jordan over the years, and here's hoping that he gets more leading roles down the line."
