    decent action flick from Paul Walker (of The Fast & the Furious). He is Tim, an inmate, given a chance to buy his freedom if he impersonates a dead drug dealer named Bobby Z.

    He soon finds himself way over his head when he realizes that not only is a huge spanish drug lord i...( read more)s on his ass, get involved with one of Bobby's ex flames and soon finds himself the unwilling father to Bobby Z's young son.

    The movie has some good fight scenes and you really have to pay attention to the storyline since it has some interesting twists & turns.

    A decent movie that hasn't gotten much attention.

    A decent action film. Though the plot twists were a little corny and easy to call for the most part, Paul Walker did a pretty good job keeping up his character. I wasn't crazy about a lot of the badguy characters, some of them were a little overdrawn and they got to be a little h...( read more)ard to believe. The action sequences were entertaining, but they seemed a little too few and far in between.

    Although I do think Paul Walker can carry a good action movie (Running Scared for example) I couldn't go through with this..
    I value my time way too much to waste it on such crap

    Bobby Z was a great movie. I liked it. Lots of action and adventure. I liked Paul Walker, Laurence Fishburne, and Keith Carradine. They were excellent in the film.
