Fresh and Exciting
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
'Satan and Adam', a very entertaining and informative documentary filmed over 20 years chronicling the personal and professional lives of Mr. Satan (aka Sterling McGee) and Adam Gussnow was featured at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. Mr. Satan was a gifted blues guitarist who rose to fame playing on the streets of Harlem and who graciously let Adam Gussnow, a white blues harmonica player, join him in playing blues on the street. This unlikely pair, one black one white, making beautiful music together in a racially charged 1980's NYC rose to brief national and world fame before Mr. Satan disappeared from the music scene. This leads to the most powerful parts of the documentary which captures the rise and fall of two men-an unlikely but genuine friendship-and how the power of music (and some caring souls) can pull someone out of the depths of depression.
