First off, one of the chief complaints is that this movie hates men. I'm sorry to say, but as a former Navy sailor, most talk this way. Not to mention this takes place in the 1940's when men were actually considered to be superior to women, so the dialogue seems to fit for me. Also, Chloe acts her heart out here making for some of the most intense moments in cinema this year. I was completely captivated by this under the radar gem. This movie was well shot, had an amazing 80's synth soundtrack, had fantastic acting, and was just pretty damn cool. The only downside is the main "horror" element as the CGI was not that great, nor the design. Other than that...Shadow in the Cloud was entertaining as hell and worth a watch.

This movie was fantastic. I was more than surprised after reading the harsh reviews littering the web. I believe this was because of the issues it deals with. Early in the movie Will Smith says "Why are you mad at a group that oppressed you over 2,000 years ago?" and from there you can see the underlying issues this movie represents.

Besides that fact, this movie felt like a 'Training Day' or 'End of Watch' but still managed to blend it nicely with the fantasy on hand. The acting was top notch and the thrills (despite the realistic grittiness) were a mile a minute. This was no snooze fest! The only issue I found was that there was TOO much foul language. I'm all for cussing, especially from Will Smith, but a lot of it felt forced since it comes in the form of every other word. Other than that this movie was frickin' awesome and has to be seen to be believed. Don't listen to critics....they are too worried about the NAACP or some other organization coming after them if they decided to praise this movie.

Get Netflix and WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
