Overall a mess. It never settles in on any coherent direction. Musical numbers are mediocre at best. The only controversy? Why the noms?

A story well deserved to be told. Sly reigns as an innovator and blazed a trail unmatched in hip hop.

This wasn’t a movie. This was an embarrassment.

As soon as the line ‘that’s not who I am anymore’ was uttered, it was clear trouble was on the horizon. This is the peak of every trope filled character/plot device thrown into an AI and then regurgitated onto the pages of a script. Acting and directing are laughable (why hire an indy director to helm this?). If it was only silly summer popcorn fare it would have been tolerable. Alas, this is as low a level of studio marketing driven film making to sell garbage as I’ve seen in a long time.

I rooted for the tornados.

7740 seconds of why I’m not, nor never will again, be a Catholic.
