    SURPRISE!

    I am not into rap music or anything related to this movie, I only watched it because I recognise the main actor from Sex Education and The actress from Sirens. I am surprised by how Powerful this film is, very emotive and realistic! I know people like Adam! It's seriously underrated. If you're scrolling through on Netflix and come across this film and you end up here reading reviews, watch it!

    Impressive real life story, with great idea of combating hatred that seems to live in us

    Rap is poetry, this movie showed battle rapping and its hatred, showed more about our speech as humans and how impactful words can be. Simple, yet very real life story of young man who finds its way through expressing himself and win because of his creativity. It shows the british battle rap scene in its unique essence, and gives the young generation true message, that life is not about the hate u give and that you achieve only great suffering by blaming others.

    Your kidding, Right?

    Judging from the title, I thought it was a comedy, and to me, it was. What a crock of nonsense.

    Taken by Suprise

    I never knew this was out and I do like a bit of battle rap now and again but was so moved by the story and the performance it has inspired me to review this (which is something i never normally do). But all I can say is wow I was glued to the monitor watching it, I paid £3.5 rent it on google play and it was money well spent, for a small film it did really well. Highly recommend watching it even if you do not like battle rap.

      No, it's not based on a true story. All the friends show up to the rap battle at the docks at 4 pm. Way to power of friendship for real life.
