Gully

I want my two hours back? At first I thought it was just a little original, put no. Don't waste your time watching this! But there were some moments,so that's 2 stars instead of 1...

Hyperbole to say the least. I saw this movie pop up on Hulu and I added it to my watchlist when I saw the cast (Kelvin Harrison, Jacob Latimore, Jonathan Majors, Terrence Howard). Then, I looked it up on IMDb, because I'm that person and was appalled to see a rating of 1.4. I have never seen a movie have such a low rating. Ever. So I purposely watched it in hopes of disproving those opinions. And while it was not an Academy Award nom by any means, it wasn't that bad. Not necessarily good, but definitely not that bad. Also, the synopses are trash as well, because there was little to no drug use at all, just a few references, so maybe do better there as well. The movie is about three friends in the inner city of LA that are all going through their own struggles. One struggle overshadows the other, for (somewhat) obvious reasons. The friends decide they will take it upon themselves to fix said problem, and it kind of unravels from there. If anything, the worst part of the movie is the gaping plot holes throughout. Also, a number of characters weren't needed and those that were never had any real development so you're left confused more often than not by some of their actions. Even still, I've seen worse movies and there's no way this deserves a 1.4. I encourage you to watch for yourself and go into it knowing that even though some people didn't care for it, you very well could. I have not rated a movie on IMDb in literal years, but I couldn't just let people trash this movie when there are far worse getting praise on a regular basis.

This film is about three young guys, all who had bad childhoods, going on a rampage. It started out well but quickly went down hill and ended up a bit of a mess.

The story was hard to follow. The characters weren't particularly likeable, even with their child hardships revealed. It didn't really feel realistic. I also didn't really understand the Grand Theft Auto graphics and fantasy scenes. They seemed like an afterthought and didn't really fit in and seemed quite random. The film would have been much better without them. Although it is a good idea and done properly and throughout the film could have worked.

Overall it was a good story and idea made into a complete mess. It just gets worse as it goes on. By the last 30mins I wasn't really paying attention. I wouldn't waste your time.

The movie is simply horrible. The acting is the worst. There's literally nothing else to say than that.

I am a huge Kelvin Harrison Jr. Fan, and while I think they wasted his talents placing him in this role, there's no way I believe this movie deserves its current rating [1.4]. The bottom line is that its an average movie: Not especially good but certainly not bad either. I'm guessing the Amber Heard haters are out in full force here since it seems to be almost a religion nowadays. Not sure what that's all about but hammering this movie because of it is unfair to everyone else involved.
