    Great Movie!

    Rarely do I see any movie twice, but I have watched "Against The Jab" four times, and it was just as compelling and funny the forth time as it was the first time I watched it. The movie is very relevant to today's culture and every day life. The cast did an amazing job. As someone who spent a huge chunk of his life in the greater Boston area, this movie struck a chord with me. Leon Robinson was masterful. The movie is directed by Patrick Jerome, remember this name because I have no doubt that his talent is on par with the likes of John Singleton and Spike Lee. It's intelligently written and brilliantly executed, t's a must see for those who enjoy suspense and laughter. The plot will keep you guessing till the very end.

    Comedy/drama prank call radio talk show

    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!

    Amazing

    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!!!!!!

    What a great film

    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.
