I enjoyed this, although it was too short to cover the story well enough. I thought Beyonce & Mekhi were both great, and Mos played a good villain. As long as you don't expect a true remake of the opera, you should enjoy it.

while the two lead actors were both great in their roles, this movie needed a serious editor. Some scenes of the drag faction arguing with gay republicans had nothing to do with the story, and the scenes jumped from scene to scene often for no reason. For instance, when DeNiro first is unconscious in the hospital, he recovers and walks out (which presumably was at least a few days after the stroke), yet the next scenes show the villians trashed an apartment where a murder had occurred -- a site that obviously would have been off limits as a crime scene.

You can enjoy the acting of the 2 leads in this movie, but the plot is a mess, and definitely brings the overall rating for this movie
