Forever Rich

This was hyped by someone on Instagram that I follow, so, in some lost time I watched this, yesterday. Overall acting is bad: much over acting. Dialogues very thin and very shallow.

Well I kind of figured this movie would be less of a drama and more of a comedy showing. If you like seeing the life is wack rappers on the screen then watch this movie. If not, it would be a good idea to skip this movie. It also has weird sound feedback bc the voices are dubbed over and made it sound like someone was narrating instead of acting. Well that's about all I have to say. Beware!

It's worth watching. Not believable but some decent moments.

I went into this film with very low expectations. I had heard almost zero buzz about it and most Netflix movies with no buzz around them are just awful. This one was a surprise hit for me though.

I do think an interest in Hip-Hop culture is almost a requirement to enjoy this film. This movie is such an effective critique about rappers/artists putting their fake public persona over their own humanity. If this this doesn't interest you though- I may pass on the film. It is the driving theme of the entire film.

This film has the kinetic energy and anxiety of "Uncut Gems" as you watch and the main character continually make frustratingly questionable decisions throughout the films entire runtime. There are a ton of cringeworthy moments that can be intentionally hard to watch. There isn't a dull moment to be had though and the performances and dialogue are solid and believable.

I do understand the poorer reviews this film is getting as well. The third act is filled with some of the biggest plot conveniences and hole you will see. You wait for some actions that should have significant consequences and they just... don't. It is almost done on purpose to create a fantasy element and I would prefer more grounded writing personally. The characters are not greatly fleshed out. There are some moments that just aren't fun to really watch.

Overall I think the film is a triumph of anxiety , action and suspense and it's in the top 10 Netflix originals of 2021.

A movie where everything constantly goes wrong is not a good movie, it's an overkill and it's predictable. This truly is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
