Parée pour percer

After finishing the book I was really excited to watch this movie, only to be left dissapointed. Now I will say, the ring battles and "On The Come Up" song were dope, but everything else just didn't satisfy me. Like there were so much important scenes and plot twist that this movie excluded out from the book. It also excluded out characters like Curtis, Shana, Grandma and Grandaddy, Kayla, Leah... the list goes on!!!! And also, I feel like putting Lil Yatchy in this movie was SUPER random XD.

One of those movies that surely aint bad, but isnt excelling in any way, shape or form either.

What we have here is a story of a young African Amercan schoolgirl who is struggling at school, but finds out she has got a talent for rap music.

What we get to see is a detailed portrait of the rise in success of her rap music career. In between we get to see several racism issues being highlighted.

The acting is okay. So is the direction. The story isnt terrible, but very predictable and that is my main complaint with this movie: it is lacking originality and it is lacking in true drama as well.

Not a bad movie, just too predictable and a bit lacking in spark and punch.

Not the best representation of Battle rap ..it's like a mixture of 8mile and what they thought battle rap was now .. decent storyline to keep you watching but I just wish there more realistic parts. To the naked eye I guess it seems so but from a person who is in battle culture it's very far fetched. Decent acting & kept my attention so I'll give it tht. I probably wouldn't watch it twice but it was ok for the first watch..a lot of new talent I'd like to see in the future as well as good guest appearances. Even tho this seems like a Netflix original I can see why it wasn't but overall this was an alright movie if your a Hop hop fan.

This film is not really about people of color alone; it is a universal theme for all races. I want to be successful, and i want to be the best of all time. These are very nice, but overly lofty goals. One only sets one's self up for disappointment when we aim too high. It is good to aim high, but a term such as ONE of the best in any field is more than enough of a goal for anyone in any field. This is why gifted children fail so often; they set unrealistic goals which eventually result in disappointment. I am sure audiences will find the film entertaining, but it should not be held up as an example for inspiration; it is merely a daydream.

This movie was completely amazing I love this movie I have the book the book is more better cuz it has more details but the movie was still amazing whoever rated this movie a one or two they're definitely a racist or stupid because this movie is awesome. I don't know why you would rate this one or two this movie deserves a 10 straight up 10 me and my family watch this movie all together we all enjoyed it it was very very good to watch to those who haven't watched this movie you need to see it now especially to the people of color who haven't seen this movie you will like this movie so much it's awesome.
