I just read a review about people who give this film anything but a 1 either being family members etc etc. Quite the tirade.
With a third of their review concentrating on a child slurping a drink. That's their review.
This one is mine.
Look. This is quite a different output than your usual.
It is very much influenced by blaxploitation (and at the end that is the point) films and the modern revisionism of someone like Jordan Peale.
A completely off the wall plot that mixes multiple genres into one.
John Boyega is such a good actor. He really, really is.
With multiple roles, he manages them well.
Jamie Foxx adds silliness and humour to proceedings.
This isn't an Oscar winner. Nor is it garbage. It is just different.
I was engaged throughout the film.
To give you in a nutshell what to expect think Groundhog Day meets Invasion of the body snatchers, meets Nancy Drew meets Shaft meets Get Out meets Boyz n The Hood.
It's just a crazy mix which on the whole, IMHO, works.
And as to the title....it'll all make sense by the end.
And it lends itself to a sequel (which likely it will get).
