Simply A Masterpiece
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
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.
First off, I admire Dame Dash. His honesty is a breath of fresh air. He has the mind of a genius. This film had the potential to be a classic. The only reason I'm doing a review...I would hope Dame will see this and apply it to future films. first, the movie should have cast younger actors. Men in their late 40's were not "right" for their roles. Maybe later in the film, using older characters would have been more convincing. Second, the commentary throughout the entire movie was overbearing to say the least. A well written script would not have required play by play commentary throughout the entire film. I felt like I was watching a pro football game,,,the commentator (dame) was explaining every scene. A more detailed script would have reduced commentary significantly. Thirdly, Waaaaaay too many shoot'em up scenes. Shooting scenes seemed like space fillers to make up for a lack of content. Film quality was good...Film quality carried the characteristics of a bigger budget film. In closing, the film had the potential to be a 7, possibly a "hood classic". But it missed the mark. Good luck on the next one Dame, I watch all your videos and consider all the advice you offer. You spread the knowledge and the love. Much respect!
If you were expecting something along the lines of state property, paid in full , Belly etc.. This is not even on the same radar. this is an embarrassment of a "movie" Im also really surpised Yeezy co-signed this mess. like someone previous stated, there are hip hop music videos that have more depth, plot, acting. Oh and, expect to hear the phrase "honor up" in just about every other sentence. SMFH
I think there was a different movie in mind in the beginning of the film but as the story line progressed everything began to fall in to place.
This movie is all about the African side in the "African-American" indelicacy...
