No Disrespect

I'm starting to write this halfway through the film. This is one of the best pieces of American Cinema I have ever seen. Many people have probably all ready saw a scene or two, from reels or memes. Whether it's a character breaking it to his wife that he has been working as a male escort, or a drug dealer curving a bullet around a tree, you probably are all ready familiar with some of the best moments of this movie. If you take a break from trying to be Roger Ebert, and take this piece of art for what it is, you will truly enjoy it. Bull might just be the best villain I've seen in a while. When I read that the director, who also cowrites and stars in the film started his career making parody movies, I truly embraced this movie for what it is. Trust me, if you are gonna watch a goddamn Tubi movie, you better start with this one. No Disrespect.

This gotta be the cheesiest gangster movie I've ever seen. Boyz in the hood it is not. The acting was so bad in this movie I didn't know if I was watching an adult film or a low budget scary movie. That being said, I couldn't look away. Kind of like when you watched Napoleon Dynamite for the first time. You really have to watch it to understand. Guaranteed this was all shot on an iPhone 12 with no sound equipment. The special effects looked like the came out of the first Batman movie in the 60s. This movie is kind of like an ugly baby. It's got the face only its mother could love. Like I said, you have to see to believe.

I was truly touched by the real-to-life portrayal of family tension, violence and hardship in this film. The characters and dialogue exposed a profound understanding of lower socio-economic African American problems, and raised issues I know many can sympathise with. The director's use of camera work, while looking superficially cheap, is doubtlessly trying to bring across the roughness of life experienced by the characters. Similarly, what appears to be bad acting and inane dialogue is actually a clever portrayal of the education crises faced by American youth. Lastly, the director's choice to not include any white characters highlights the sense of racial isolation such black communities encounter. Bravo, I applaud this tour de force!
