A surprise!
I expected this film to be entirely different based off of the title cover and the description. It was really good. Common plays a father figure to Mikael Phiper(?). This movie does a good job at tackling complex issues in a tough economy. Especially if one only knows a jail lifestyle. The scenery was very interesting to look at, if you’re not familiar with Baltimore. Fish and Danny Glover play old foes to Common’s character. He wears an executive suit while driving a brand new Mercedes Benz. But they live in a slum house.. I kind of get the visual symbolism through it.Although it was a bit cheesy. The lengths he goes through to bond with his nephew while while battling Baltimore’s banks and gangs are pretty interesting. It’s worth a look.
Training School Day
What an odd coincidence having Luv recommended to me and finally getting around to seeing this urban, gang-related and crime-filled Baltimore drama with zero redeemable characters on the same day as the real-life Baltimore riots. Beyond that, I appreciated what the indie filmmakers were trying to create here, but it was difficult to watch due to the extreme number of horrible individuals we were, I guess, supposed to root for. Even our “hero,” or the low budget, distant cousin of Denzel Washington’s Det. Alonzo Harris from Training Day, was so despicable with every action he took, it was a tough sell. Basically, we follow this Uncle around as he complete unravels and shatters his nephew’s life to the point of almost no return. In fact, if they made a sequel, the nephew, then grown up, would be the new hero/bad guy we’d hate. That all said, again, I appreciate the efforts here as, while wildly independent, it was competently made and had strong, secondary actors to at least elevate the film during their scenes. But, all-in-all, it’s a downer and a sad fictional tale of hate, greed, revenge, bad influences and soulless characters unfortunately mimicking the harsh reality of today’s riots.
