I was tuned in to the fullest . The turn out of this movie was epic. Reminds me of topboy on Netflix but better. I different recommend watching this movie you will not be disappointed. I've watched it 3 times already cause it was so good .
This film is a must see! You will be glued to the screen as each moment will become even more gripping. I would have liked to see the ending with a different twist. Watch it in theaters or on streaming platforms.
A Must See Film. Every scene in this movie was authentic and on point to true life events. A Road To Riches come true. It takes you on a journey of Cat childhood growing up in Jamaica and his struggle to survive without the guidance of a father figure. Cat turned to the street and learned those codes of survival. He wanted a better life and eventually his mom saved up money to bring her family over to America to find a better life. Every young kid in the struggle can and will learn something from this well put together film. It kept me on edge every scene learning and educating me on the every day struggles of reality we live today. This is action-packed thriller movie with a message. This is one of those movies you will keep on repeat. Im going to watch it again today. You going to have to watch it to understand. Get to the theaters or press play on your social digital devices. If you loved SHOTTAS and PAID IN FULL, this is THE BLENDED REMIX! VERSION WITH A TWIST!
I will make an easy list to follow:
-Terrible, cheesy acting
-Terrible art direction and cinematography
-ZERO chemistry amongst the characters
-Story is underdeveloped and contrived
-Silly way of politicizing America as a place where you HAVE to be a criminal to 'get ahead'
-Stereotypes everywhere
-Ending was absurd.
An 'outsider making their own way' gangsta movie, written and directed by newcomer GH Goba.
Sadly, the inexperience shows being laced with cliché, mind numbing dialogue and embarrassingly poor camerawork. The stylistic choice to have a Film Noir narration approach falls flat as do the non-linear plot elements. Characters are unconvincing and shallow caricatures with no credible attempt to flesh them out or make them relatable.
This could well have worked as an over-the-top comedy, but as any kind of serious crime drama it falls well short of acceptable.
