Carl Weber Influence a 21st Century Perry Mason

This was an excellent 👏 screenplay. Lead character "Brad Hudson" is one of thee BEST Character Actors in Black Cinema. Never disappoints. Carl Weber ought to develop this into a series it would be a hit. The Black Perry Mason it has alot of potential. 👏 👏 Bravo!!!

Enable closed captioning

This is a good movie!! The opening scene grabs your attention and call for you to stop scrolling. Glad to see Deborah Cox showcasing her acting skills. And goodness to see Fred Dryer !!!! As a kid I used to watch him play Sgt Rick Hunter on Hunter. But I must ask why was this released with such horrible balance with music and scripts? At times the actors are speaking so quietly coupled with loud music you have no choice but to rely on the closed captioning. Roger Guenvere Smith is the main actor who I had difficulty hearing. But as I reflect on his other movies, he usually has a soft spoken voice.

Overall great cast, suspenseful plot that makes for a decent at-home movie.

Great Black Movie

This movie grabbed me from the beginning; I only wish the music didn't play soooo loud at times when the actors were speaking!!! The actors list is amazing and they did a great job of casting and mixing veterans with newcomers.

Turn down the scene music!

Great film, plot, and actors! However, the 'background' music was more so at the forefront of each scene. It was entirely to loud and took away from the dialogue and dynamics amongst the actors.

Excellent flick!

I knew it wasn't going to disappoint when I saw the cast line up! This was a great thriller with a dramatic twist in the end. Has the makings of a tv show spin off with the Hudson's as a elite Black owned law firm who takes on a all types of exciting cases with the occasional run in with Columbus and definitely keep the detective on as its #1 investigator. Loved it!
