    It was ok

    It was a bit boring and slow paced, I had to keep skipping. The symbolism at the end was like a good lesson but also kinda confusing, in fact the entire ending was a bit confusing.

    People complaining it was slow need to realise it was a drama not an action movie

    I liked this film, it was different. I've heard a few Freddie Gibbs tracks and into rap but maybe I'll check out some more of his tracks now, he was good at acting. The story follows a rapper who is fed up of the music industry and goes out to live on a farm but his manager keeps hounding him to do music. It spoke to me alot because I feel sometimes people need to just take a break to think and relax without being pressured into anything by others. Solid drama.

    Gangsta Gibbs is the best in the game currently!

    I look forward to seeing all of his future moves because he has not missed yet! Music, movies, comedy, etc.

    I liked it, and am forever a fan of Gibbs

    Gibbs has yet to disappoint me from his music to his acting. The movie was a lot more artistic than I anticipated, and there is several underlying themes here that some may not understand if they haven't followed Gibbs and his experiences he's had in the music industry. But I do understand he wasn't playing himself but the reason he was perfect for the role is because of what he went through. Fans will treasure this movie, those not as familiar with him will be those that whine about the "farm scenes" not being realistic. And my guess is they have heard none of his music and don't know about his life.

    Will always be a fan and I go to his shows every chance I get, the loyalty among his fans is strong and will tune in to anything he's got coming! Keep it up Freddie Kane! 100.

    Okay but definitely a 1 time watch

    Big Gibbs fan and I was anticipating this film, but it was completely different than what I expected. It's pretty slow in parts. I think the main issue is the story and the script, because the actors and camera work is on point. Respectable leading debut for Freddie.
