Respect the Jux

Loved it! Something new and different. This film is for an audience that most can not relate to. All that matters is that it was shot very well. 600+ people at the premier @ Cinema Village NYC.

This film is a must see! You will be glued to the screen as each moment will become even more gripping. I would have liked to see the ending with a different twist. Watch it in theaters or on streaming platforms.

An 'outsider making their own way' gangsta movie, written and directed by newcomer GH Goba.

Sadly, the inexperience shows being laced with cliché, mind numbing dialogue and embarrassingly poor camerawork. The stylistic choice to have a Film Noir narration approach falls flat as do the non-linear plot elements. Characters are unconvincing and shallow caricatures with no credible attempt to flesh them out or make them relatable.

This could well have worked as an over-the-top comedy, but as any kind of serious crime drama it falls well short of acceptable.

I will make an easy list to follow: -Terrible, cheesy acting -Terrible art direction and cinematography -ZERO chemistry amongst the characters -Story is underdeveloped and contrived -Silly way of politicizing America as a place where you HAVE to be a criminal to 'get ahead' -Stereotypes everywhere -Ending was absurd.

A gritty depiction of what's it's like growing up in a a third world Country and the pursuit of the so called American dream. I find the story relatable on many levels through to the sad the ending of achieving/chasing that desire for the dream at all cost.

A must see!
