Imani

This movie kept me engaged throughout the entire 2 hours. The fight scenes were not Jason Statham level, but they were good. The plot was cohesive and made sense. The acting was not the greatest, but it was not so bad that it made the movie unwatchable nor did it distract from the pacing so much that it inhibited enjoyment. All in all, i give it a solid 6 stars.

With the storyline it should have been a very good movie. The fight scenes were okay but the acting was mediocre to poor to say the least and that is being kind. A very poorly constructed film and a waste of money. The lead actors were not too bad but the supporting actors, and I use the word actors loosely were pathetic. With decent writers this should have been a good, watchable movie instead of a dud, The author of the previous comment was clearly watching something different to me or was being paid to come up with a positive review? In actuality anybody that paid to see it should sue. Sadly it could have been so good instead of being a dead loss.

Well, I will say that the synopsis for the 2023 action thriller "Imani" sounded interesting enough to get my attention. And I had not heard about this movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't know what I was in for, nor did I know what to expect.

Writers Amaleka McCall and Tu-Shonda Whitaker put together a very bland, monotonous and uneventful script and storyline. And running at 117 minutes, sitting through "Imani" was quite an ordeal, because nothing much of anything really happened as the monotonous narrative slowly unfurled on the screen. So I have to say that it felt like director Mike Ho didn't really live up to the premise set by the synopsis.

The acting performances in the movie were sort of bland. I wasn't impressed with what I saw, and most of the performances were one-dimensional, lacking emotion, commitment and drive. And that also made the characters come off as being even more bland than the writers had penned them out to be. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is usually something I enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. However, I found little enjoyment here.

Visually then "Imani" wasn't impressive. Truth be told, it wasn't a movie that relied heavily on special effects or CGI, so it wasn't like the stage was set for a grand spectacle of special effects and CGI to blow the audience away.

I found "Imani" to be a boring disappointment, and it was such a dull narrative that I ended up turning off the movie just shy of one hour into the ordeal. But I have to admit by then I was simply bored to tears and didn't care one ounce about neither storyline nor characters. So there simply wasn't any point in prolonging the suffering of sitting through another hour of the ordeal that is "Imani".

This is definitely not a movie that I will recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us did, to lesser or greater extend, so you don't have to.

My rating of "Imani" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars, and that is based mostly on the production value.

When a story can give you several plot twist then the film is doing their job and making sure to peek the interest of their viewers. From the beginning to the end I was intrigued and could not miss a second of it because each character was important and had vital information that moved the story forward. That is good because if I am able to go away and come back and not be confused that means i didn't miss anything important, but this movie you would. There wasn't one character there that did not have an importance in the movie. The pace was at the right speed and I was able to follow along the action and drama.

Very interesting and entertaining. Which there were a part 2. Said so much about how we abuse others less powerful than USA and corruption of politicians. Too many innocent people die to benefit a handful of corrupt, rich and powerful. This is not new it's the history of America. Nevertheless it was entertaining as well. I'm pretty good at figuring out who all the bad guys are, but there were some surprises. Would definitely see part 2 if ever there is one. Interesting ending. Not really sure who or why this was done, which is why a part 2 would be great. 34 characters to go! 12 more characters to go!
