I lost 2 important things watching this crap time and money and i don't like losing either. Bad actors bad plot and very predictable
"Cover" directed by Bill Duke is a poignant film that highlights the cause and effects of infidelity, betrayal and deception. Aunjanue Ellis does very well as the religious devoted mother and housewife who soon becomes distraught after discovering her husband's double life. Not to mention, the radiant and beautiful Vivica A. Fox as the supportive, best friend. The directing is more than suitable for the film as Bill Duke keeps the viewer guessing with his intelligent and crafty use of mystery and suspense. In addition, the film has a clever storyline that's strong enough to keep one glued to their seat. Most importantly, the storyline is well thought out ,unpredictable and original. "Cover also includes performances by Leon as the seductive and charismatic Ryan Chambers, Roger Guenveur Smith("Do The Right Thing"), Paula Jai Parker("Friday"), Louis Gossett Jr, and Clifton Davis from the 1970s TV sitcom "That's My Mama". I highly recommend this film. 8/10.
I would've missed out on a good movie if I paid attention to these reviews. It wasn't homophobic, it was honest and definitely a LOT of truth to it. Watch it for yourself.
I enjoyed the movie Cover, it tackles the down low men in the black community,it tackles hiv,religion etc.that are all real life issues in the world,it was a good movie I recommend for every adult to watch atleast 1 time.
What this movie shows is that whatever is done in the dark will truly come to the light. This "down low" life is REAL. What is so troubling is that many of these men don't inform their partners (as shown in the movie) and needlessly subject their spouses/girlfriends to unnecessary hurt, pain and sometimes STD's.
Though this movie has some really good actors, it was sloppily written and directed. Actors can only work with what their given.
