NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
flowirin So we have a promising young black student, who has to drop out of a scholarship to deal drugs and perform street tricks. He's committed, though, implanting a bunch of metal in his arm to give himself the (totally bogus) ability to manipulate metals with a twitch of his fingers.What does he do with these skills? Steal things, break into things, get into fights.I'm pretty over the stereotyping of people based on skin colour.
Majd I enjoyed this movie soo much, it has a twist of drugs/crime and some positive performance on magic revealing some truth unlike other magic movies. What i want to point out is the scene where Bo pauses the bullets is so amazing, i loved it because Angelo was mindfucked and couldn't believe it, maybe there is a plot twist and they all work for Bo lol. One important part is i want to congratulate the producers for being such trollers, i hated the fact there was a cliff hanger and i really want to know what happened to make Holly go "oh my god"
tlarraya I really expected more from this film. I thought we were going to see a smart kid come up with a brilliant magic trick/s to save his little sister. The ending is bad (they don't even clarify it). And you don't get to care for the characters. It's not for kids and its not for adults. Just not worth seeing.
fuck face Didn't know a thing about this movie going it, except that it involved some magic (ala Now you see me)While there are some magic, it doesn't even try to base it on actual magic. all camera tricks & editing that can't be done in real life. And the story doesn't really make sense if you look into it.***SPOILERS***This supposedly smart 'engineer' implanted an electromagnet in his arm that looks like he got in a car accident. Then later on, tells us that there are fine wires running down his arms to his hands UNDER his skin (with no scars). REALLY?! You got an infected car wreck on your upper arm and then tell us that you have wires surgically implanted in the rest of your arm with no scars, all by yourself with one hand?! And the purpose of this is to levitate/move metallic object. Again, none of the writers seem like they took basic science. Magnets has no effect on precious metals or LEAD! So you can't levitate a silver ring, rip out gold teeth or stop lead bullets. Also, why make him this smart (seemly moral) dude if you're just gonna have him deal drugs, steal from his friends and dealer. If he really is smart and made an electromagnet implant that work, why doesn't he just sell it. And no bs about magic secret, a lot of magician sell their tricks & props for profit. And the whole reason he got into magic was to find out one trick, which that magician told for free. There is nothing in this movie that shows he's as smart as the movie claims. Everything in this movie makes him out to be a hustling hood rat (with a heart, but only for 3 people) who hates being a hustling hood rat. That's like saying peter parker hate being spider-man when he could be rich selling his web fluid.Lastly, on him owing his dealer money. He needed 9 grand, why not sell his car? He could've easily gotten 10k for it. Again, this dude is suppose to be smart?!
