The Gods 2: The Dark Side

Mykel Shannon Jenkins, does it again. This man can do it all. The writing, the directing and starring in this classic film. He knows how to take the viewer on a ride. The way it was shot made it feel like watching real life. It starts right out of the gate. Had me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend watching the first one, The Gods, and then watch this one. The movie is so well cast as well as the musical score to go with it. I loved the brothers relationship. This film has it all-love story, revenge and a bit of humor. Mikey is such a badass. I cannot wait for another one. Let's hope this story continues with the ever so talented Bryce Clyde Jenkins!

This film has a grit and raw feel that was captured well in every performance. The plot moves well and the action is fast paced. I had a chance to catch the original The Gods, and the relationships established in the first really set this movie up nicely. I found myself actually caring about the characters, which good writing will do. From the outset of the start, the film moves nicely and doesn't let up. A definite popcorn flick as they're described. Mykel Jenkins is a tour de force of intensity and strength. If you're into gritty, character-driven action movies, then this is a must watch for you.

This film was amazing I loved the acting in it and the story line was amazing. Actors truly embodied their characters and I felt the emotional tension and message from the film. I like the emphasis on the importance of family and how it can tear a man apart when it's disrupted especially as a black man. The father and son bond in the film was awesome I can't wait for the next film in this Saga. The drug game is petty game and leaves no room for being soft but in reality we are human and I can appreciate the realness from the actors as they showed vulnerability in such a masculine world known as the drug world. This film had me on the edge of my seat as it will have you on yours.

Great film. Excellent interpersonal drama. Terrific cinematography and musical background kept the tension and mood. I enjoyed the expert blend of the action sequences with gripping drama. The attuned interaction of the cast creates a thrilling and emotionally resonant story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The performances are top-notch. The film's action sequences are not just there for spectacle, but are instead grounded in character and story, which makes the scenes and outcome all the more thrilling and impactful. Gripping storylines that leave a lasting emotional impact.

I most definitely was glued to that screen from top to bottom!!! Wow. Mykel Shannon Jenkins has done it again! Incredible work- gifted cast, on-point writing, directing, cinematography (that opening aerial shot for starters!) and even the colors just brilliant and executed well!!! High intense emotion throughout this film took me on a ride for sure. ALL the fighting scenes felt & looked too real...like i literally could not tell if they were stunts or actually fighting wow. I just can't make this stuff up!! I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys watching suspense thriller movies- lots of twists, mystery and ACTION!!!
