One More Flip

I sat down to watch "One More Flip" from writers Stan Bridges and Ronnie Kirk without knowing anything about the movie. I hadn't even heard about it prior to sitting down to watch it. So I wasn't sure what I was getting into here.

And let me just be the first to say that I was definitely not the target audience for this 2021 drama titled "One More Flip". Director Jeffrey T. Brown delivered a movie that fell completely short of having any appeal to me.

The storyline told in "One More Flip" was insanely generic, and it was just downright painting stereotypical pictures of the characters in the movie and the environment that they navigated in. So it was very difficult for me to submerge myself into the movie's storyline and plot, much less take the narrative serious. I mean, this movie was about as generic as they come.

The acting performances in the movie were bland. Now, I am not saying that the actors or actresses put on bad or poor performances, but the character gallery and dialogue they had to work with was just rubbish. So they essentially had a little foundation to build anything from.

The pacing of the narrative and story was just slow, so mind-numbingly slow and uneventful. And that was one of the reasons why it was so difficult to sit through the movie. Well, that and the fact that everything in the movie seemed to be a stereotypic cliché.

While I am sure that there certainly is an audience out there for a movie such as "One More Flip", then this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.

My rating of "One More Flip" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Such a great movie. I even followed the entire cast on social media. Quality wasn't low budget. Actors played great parts. Should market more outside of the filmed area for mass exposure. Collab with other well known social media influencers for Max views.

I hated how it ended but the movie wasn't bad at all. The acting was good for the reputation that tubi has when it comes to black cinema. I like the storyline, though it was predictable, it was executed perfectly. The main character has a cute voice that i personally found to be fitting. The movie could've done better when it came to building relationship between the characters and audience but that doesn't change the fact that the main character was a sweetheart. Relatable in a sense that she wants what's best for everyone around her and didn't stop at anything to do what she could to achieve that.

I almost didn't watch the movie because at first the main character didn't appeal to me but as the movie went on the characters remind me of real people I knew from the past. The one dude he said he is not the target already it's probably right. They probably live in the suburbs and wear khakis and don't know anything about other lifestyles. To me the movie isn't stereotypes it is real life. There are a lot of twist in the movie that surprised me and two parts made me cry. Plus I ended up really liking the main character but I wish it had a different ending. You'll have to watch it to see.

Overall this movie was pretty good. I think it had a great poignant story in there that shines a light in reality. I gave it 8 stars because being a fan of hood movies this one was filmed pretty well. I've seen quite a few trap movies and the quality is sadly always really poor with a few exceptions. This one was good. I'd recommend to those who like hood movies. There was also a hood twist in there. I really enjoyed the main character Taj I think she held it down. I would love to see a second one to this!
