Great fun as a jazzy radio show host takes you on a prank call journey - assuming before the days of caller ID! Mini clips within the film highlight current issues, brought about using both drama and humor. Actor Scott Neufville was particularly effective in creating the dual drama/comic character. Scenes from the film comically highlight through twists, turns and consequences of some chose we may encounter in life. The prank calls, mix of characters, built-on plot along side Boston scenery makes for a recipe of laugher and a fun night out. Nice to see a film that was produced and filmed in Boston while incorporating local talent. I highly recommend seeing this film. However, do beware of the next time you answer your phone!
DJ Mike Makes fun of people's life with prank phone calls on his radio show but, how far is too far?
I saw "Against The Jab" this past week. This movie is put together very well. People hear the term independent film and assume that those type of films are sub par, all that term means is that a movie studio didn't help with the film it was funded independently. This film sets the bar for Boston independent films. It has the look of Hollywood and was filmed in Boston. Boston should be proud to have a film like this that features not only a very historic city but the actors that came from the city. Everything about this movie works, from the story all the way to the acting. "Against The Jab" is a definite must see. If you don't see it you are really missing out. This movie is funny and Dramatic at the same time. Congratulations to the director for directing such a great cast and making the movie so real. He really brought out the best in the actors. Leon, Clara Lago, and Lonette McKee were great, but you have to give it to the Boston Actors, they really hung in their with these Hollywood actors and nailed their performance. I can not say enough about this movie. It was a lot of fun to watch and it never got old. It is a great movie.
One of the best movies I have seen in recent times. It is a perfect blend of comedy and mystery. It keeps you engrossed till the very end. I also enjoyed the beauty of Boston in the movie. Mr. Jerome has done an amazing job. All the actors in the movie were fantastic. Leon Robinson has done a wonderful job as a Radio Jockey. The international cast also did a commendable job. The story line is very strong. Emotions run very high while watching the movie and also the climax is jaw dropping. Screenplay and cinematography have the lifted the movie to a new level. Once again, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie!!!!!!
The humor in this movie was quite original and very funny. The chemistry between the actors was great. The story was good and the dramatic scenes were well constructed. This would be rated PG 13 for language. It was shot in Boston and one or two suburban communities. This added to the realism for me.
This type of radio program is common. I've heard the prank calls enough to know that the prank calls in the movie were much funnier than what real radio stations put out. Mr. Patrick Jerome has been making films for years. His films keep getting better and better. This film should be picked up by Hollywood.

I recently saw this movie Against The Jab at the AMC theater in downtown Boston. I was amazed by the dual genre the film has that was so powerful. How can someone achieve that? a mix of comedy and drama in the same film that is so well done and successful. When the funny time comes with all the prank phone calls the movie is very funny. On the other side story about DJMike life the story gradually becomes very intense and dramatic. The scenery of Boston was fantastic. By just watching the movie you will see the beauty of the city the aerial shot is mind blowing. I would suggest a little more color correction in the audience reaction shots. Other than that the movie is great.
This is the best film I've seen so far this year. All the actors were wonderful great performances. The entire cast had a great chemistry. Everyone was so natural. the story unfold before your eye as if it is really going on. The movie story line is Awesome. I highly recommend this film Job well done.
