Weird, but fun enough
23 September 2023
First of all, I have to admit, without the pretty great and charismatic performances from Foxx, Boyega and surprisingly Teyonah Parris (only annoying to me in Wandavision), I wouldn't consider this movie good, probably. But they were cast, they acted the heck out of this, and they made me enjoy the movie. It counts.

Besides them, we have a weird creation that starts as a gangsters film, but too nerdy with too many pop culture references coming from characters that wouldn't, usually, ever even know them. But again, maybe because of the actores, it was funny and it worked.

It's with the second half that the problems get a bit more obvious, with the movie turning into weird sci-fi, but with without room for explanations or avoiding plot-holes, concentrating more in entertainment and delivering the message, and I think, overall, it ends up working well enough. Really weird, but enjoyable.
