Imani

This morning was very good, I enjoyed it and her action fight scenes.... SHE DID THAT!!

Don't believe those other reviews that said no, see it for yourself it's a good movie.

Why does this review need 690 characters? This makes no sense I don't want to spoil the movie by telling people about it other than it good.

I gave it 10 stars so it speaks for itself. At this point I'm just trying anything to meet the requirements for this unnecessary need for characters. This time it's taking me to do this, I'm never getting back... ugh! Just sixty seven more letters to go. Now thirty, I wish I never wanted to leave a review but I had to tell the truth and shame the devil. The movie is actually good.

Well, I will say that the synopsis for the 2023 action thriller "Imani" sounded interesting enough to get my attention. And I had not heard about this movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't know what I was in for, nor did I know what to expect.

Writers Amaleka McCall and Tu-Shonda Whitaker put together a very bland, monotonous and uneventful script and storyline. And running at 117 minutes, sitting through "Imani" was quite an ordeal, because nothing much of anything really happened as the monotonous narrative slowly unfurled on the screen. So I have to say that it felt like director Mike Ho didn't really live up to the premise set by the synopsis.

The acting performances in the movie were sort of bland. I wasn't impressed with what I saw, and most of the performances were one-dimensional, lacking emotion, commitment and drive. And that also made the characters come off as being even more bland than the writers had penned them out to be. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is usually something I enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. However, I found little enjoyment here.

Visually then "Imani" wasn't impressive. Truth be told, it wasn't a movie that relied heavily on special effects or CGI, so it wasn't like the stage was set for a grand spectacle of special effects and CGI to blow the audience away.

I found "Imani" to be a boring disappointment, and it was such a dull narrative that I ended up turning off the movie just shy of one hour into the ordeal. But I have to admit by then I was simply bored to tears and didn't care one ounce about neither storyline nor characters. So there simply wasn't any point in prolonging the suffering of sitting through another hour of the ordeal that is "Imani".

This is definitely not a movie that I will recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us did, to lesser or greater extend, so you don't have to.

My rating of "Imani" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars, and that is based mostly on the production value.

I came across this movie after doing one of my BET+ searches. Hadn't ever heard of it before but after watching the trailer, I decided to tune in and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised considering I had already watched three films that were a bit mediocre. This one had an excellent plot and storyline, the fight scenes were not bad considering and the actors did really well and it didn't look low budget as I have been accustomed to as of late so I am giving it a 10 out of 10 not to say that it was perfect but to balance out some of the other reviews that just seem absolutely ridiculously low for no reason because this actually was a good quality film. Kudos to all parties involved.

Good Review: "Imani" was a blast! The plot had me hooked with all its twists and turns. Brittany S. Hall did a great job, and the action scenes were pretty cool. The story kept me interested, and the production quality was solid for a streaming movie. Definitely give it a watch if you like action-packed thrillers.

Bad Review: The plot felt kind of forced and had too many holes. The acting was hit or miss, and some scenes were just awkward.

The movie focuses more on the action and thriller aspects, with a strong emphasis on the protagonist's journey of self-discovery and uncovering a government conspiracy.

This movie kept me engaged throughout the entire 2 hours. The fight scenes were not Jason Statham level, but they were good. The plot was cohesive and made sense. The acting was not the greatest, but it was not so bad that it made the movie unwatchable nor did it distract from the pacing so much that it inhibited enjoyment. All in all, i give it a solid 6 stars.
