Beats

I have never been to Chicago, but what I hear and see on the news and movies, this seemed like a perfect depiction of it. The acting was great, especially for a guy I have never seen before. The music was straight fire, and it showed the shady side of the record biz. Anthony Anderson was great, could really feel his drive to make it back on top and really help this kid achieve his dream. Great movie.

It was such a good movie. It's full of great music and beats. If you love music you must watch it you won't regret it.

I really liked the acting, the story line and the music. It is well worth watching. But I have to agree with others that I found the ending confusing because I wasn't sure what the ending was. But then I am the sort of person who complains when the ending is sugary or obvious. So,maybe it works My musical tastes aren't quite in this area but I loved the music and the general vibe. I would say this is well worth seeing - but it's not perfect.

This is an incredible movie. A young reclusive kid with a lot of talent overcomes the trauma of being struck by the bullet that killed his sister. A down and out music manager with a shady past discovers the kid and himself in this emotionally driven music drama. I grabbed my own keyboard and started playing as I watched the creative processes shown in this film. Bangers all day on the soundtrack. This one for the library

I was loving the movie, until the ending. Just felt like they didn't know how to finish it. I can see what they were trying to do, but it was a poor ending, it felt rushed. I still enjoyed it though.
