Deuces

When I saw this film available on Netflix, I ran to check the reviews on imdb and the trailer. Did not seem that bad, despite the mixed opinions on it, and I thought I could give it a try. The plot is known, but so badly introduced, the characters so badly drawn, that I could not stand the whole show and I had to end it. Despite this fact, I can tell you I saw a good deal of it and its bad as a movie can be.

Disgraceful, that since AMAZON bought IMDb, & CLOSED Sincere reviews/comments on a movie such as this, BEFORE its' INTERNATIONAL release dates.. What is the point of posting a review any more on here. I used to post my thoughts before..& AFTER I HAD PAID to see the movie FIRST.

This movie is NOT on general release until 16 August 2017.

I have not seen it yet..BUT I am so angry that I am reading more FALSE REVIEWS by folk connected to this movie & others, in their efforts to promote them, that I have started this thread.

SIMPLE as that.. ALL about money folks..

All I can say is 'One bad apple spoils the bunch'.

The acting is so bad, I paused the movie intermittently times asking myself if I had to continue.

However, the story line does have some interesting plots.

Above average drugs and glamour story. Some good performances and a fast pace makes this watchable and dare I say enjoyable.

Deuces surprised me considering there's not much they can do with a run of the mill plot such as this one. I will say there is some unnecessary filler in my opinion such as the romantic elements in which it could've done without. It's a crime movie, I couldn't care less about a soft core sex or romance scene, they could've implied it at that point because it was out of place and pointless. Other than that the overall acting was believable and genuine, everyone involved did a fantastic job, it felt like a real story. I liked the City of God reference (one of the best films ever made). I didn't expect how it all played it and I was satisfied with the ending. All in all, it was enjoyable. It's one of those movies I can only watch once after knowing how it ends. Cinematically it was nothing special, but it entertained me.
