Pimp

Ambitious little film that tries very hard to make it's point, KeKe Palmer step into a role that's out of type and nails it, other than that, it all over the place and leans into exploitation territory with the thin plot, with more time and character development and better story detail it would been much better than it tried to be,I am not going to pick this film apart , it is good late night viewing and not a bad film altogether .

Not going to lie, I do love a bleak movie and more than anything this film demonstrated the lack of glamour in the world of pimps hustling to make a buck. Keke Palmer's Wednesday is conflicting and hard to love but she rolls out the part beautifully, Hayley Ramm's long suffering Nikki is also a beautiful character eliciting so much emotion as a girl doing whatever she needs to keep her 'momma' happy and that dream alive. Vanessa Morgan as Destiny is by the numbers and Aunjanue Ellis as Wednesday's mother draws comparisons with Monique's stellar turn in 'Precious'

But the standout for me was Edi Kathegi's amazing run as the unhinged, merciless Psycho Pimp, Kenny! Edi brought some chops.

Whilst this isn't an Oscar winner it deserves a nod for its ambition and its deep characterisations maybe they could have spread that a little further but a good effort nonetheless.

Make a prequel about Kenny the pimp he was a way better character. In my opinion Kenny made the movie more interesting. I would love to see his story on the Big screen.

All the people judging and reviewing this negatively seem like those super sensitive types of this pathetic sensitive world we now live in. The movie was good and who cares if she was a Nickelodeon star, who cares about the color of the director's skin. This story is telling an experience that someone went through. It's unique. I was expecting it to be bad, but it's actually good.

I saw this in the middle of the night in a hotel room. I have seen worse movies by happenstance. As far as the content, if you want to believe in the premise of this film, then you can and you will enjoy the experience. People that look for reasons to complain will tell you that it's an urban women's lib fantasy. Personally, I enjoyed it. It's a fine film, excellent for the budget.
