Watch Connors' War For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"Connors' War" is a decent, if flawed action movie. Treach plays the title character who is blinded on a mission. He is recruited for "one last job" by his mentor, Brooks (Blu Mankuma). Connors' mission is to steal a secret serum. As usual, there is a double-cross, and Connors has to fight to stay alive.The best thing about the movie is Treach's performance. He does a really good job playing blind. You feel for him. But when he spouts out words like "O.G. Killer Dawg", some of it is lost though. Nia Peeples is okay as the doctor who helps Connors, but her character doesn't do much. Blu Mankuma goes through the motions as Brooks.One major problem is that there's not a lot of action here. There's a gunfight at the beginning and end of the movie and the rest is exposition. As far as "Treach"-ery is concerned, "Love and A Bullet" is a little bit better.But overall, "Connors' War" is worth watching for Treach.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

This film is about a man named Connor's, (Anthony Treach Criss) who was in an undercover operation which went bad and he lost his eyesight. Connor's three years later is sitting on a house boat and trying to adjust to being blind and bored to death. He receives a visit from his former boss Brooks, (Blu Mankuma) who promises Connor's a way to get his eyesight back if he agrees to steal a certain item from the government. Connor's is introduced to an eye specialist named Amanda, (Nia Peeples) who is very charming and sexy and when Connor's gets his eyesight back, the two of them hit if off great together, but she keeps her distance. There are many twists and turns in this film and it seems to get rather boring and not really a great film to view.

Treach gives a more reserved performance than you'd expect from a rapper as a former agent who lost his eyesight due to misguided SWAT involvement in his latest mission, and after three years is approached by his mentor who promises to help him regain his eyesight in exchange for one more risky job. But neither the eye operation nor the job go as planned. Nia Peeples gives an enjoyable performance as the optometrist who gets involved in the action and begins to like it....and you won't believe she was 45 when she made this, she puts many women 10 years younger than her to shame. Plus, the image of her with a gun is painting-on-the-wall worthy. The two most interesting things about "Connor's War" are the gimmicks the director uses to depict Connor's "night vision" as it goes in and out, and the morally vague world the screenwriter creates, where the characters played by Garwin Sanford and Blu Mankuma may be at war with each other, but they show a similar disrespect for human life. Yes, there isn't really much that's new in this film, but it's done well enough and I don't regret watching it. (**1/2)

There is nothing special in this film that would make me believe that I will remember it by next month. It's a very standard action movie, with a special agent losing his eye-sight while trying to rescue the First Lady and being brought back into action three years later by means of a special medicine that can give him back the eye-sight (and better) for a few hours. The apparent mission he is given proves to be a scam, and he falls between the cracks of internal disputes among government agencies and their spies. There is nothing special in the story and there is hardly enough material for a typical 50 minutes TV series, so that even the 80 something minutes of screening seem long. True, there is nothing really bad or stupid, but the lack of imagination and originality leads to the feeling that even for a DVD rental this film offers too little.
