Rap Game

Snipes is a movie that suffers from sloppy storytelling and overall uninspiredness, but it held my attention even if not the most engaging.

There are several issues present throughout. The plot isn't necessarily bad, but it's pretty convoluted and not in a clever way. The film seems aware of how much the viewer would need to know to understand the plot, and thus tries to compensate by throwing several brief flashbacks to relevant information from earlier in the movie. It works in terms of making things clear, but feels very lazy. The movie explains itself a lot but I never felt particular interest in why things happened or what was going to happen.

The filmmaking is rather TV movie-like. It's not badly shot but it's hardly impressive. I was not a fan of the music supervision, as I felt some parts would have benefitted from different or no music, but the movie way too often feels the need to add hip-hop instrumentals wherever it can.

It's a bit hard for me to think of genuine positives in the film, but I will say it wasn't boring. Snipes is not exactly to my taste, but the movie manages to keep a solid pace. It's a serviceable two hours and competently made despite my lack of true engagement.

Now this isn't one of the great thrillers of our time, but it is one of the best of the year. It's smart and fascinating, surprise-a-minute crime film that's held together with a great line of unknown talent. Even pop-rap superstar Nelly, (the main bill on the box art) did a wonderful job as a cocky and arrogant, yet undeniably talented rap artist.

In comparison with Black-urban action flicks, this is almost right up there with Hype Williams overlooked masterpiece, Belly. In fact, in comparison with most rap-movies (ex: anything by Master P, or Dame Dash) this is Oscar worthy (in comparison, of course).

From begining to end, this cause-and-effect thriller will hold you onto the edge of your seat and let go of you with a sharp blast to the frontal head.

Keeping an eye on this director is something you do because the future is Bright for this one. This movie is daring, risk-taking, and provides dark impact for filming experience to the viewer. This is one of those films that I would consider a complete package because the directing production, the acting even the cinematic shots, they all fit perfectly. I definitely recommend this film because it's new its storyline is creative and the finished product is meaningful. It's definitely one of those films where you're just kind of hanging out at the house with your partner enjoying the night. It's almost a mood setting movie!

This film for sure gets two thumbs up.

Finally a thriller with a twist after twist. Rap and hip-hop provide more than background music, they're central to the theme. Smart script and excellent thriller overall. 'Nelly' is certainly more than a rapper. He's is star on the big screen too.

Nelly is the bestest, and if you like band-aids and testicularless rhyme styles, this is the movie for you. In this movie, you get to see nellys ass when he gets out of the shower, so if you are from norway, you will really, really, really love this movie. GO #TURNTABLISM
