The Riff

This movie was a movie written for a film goer that has an appetite for a good story, smooth jazz, and actors that can deliver. The chemistry between Shoop Summers played by Antonio Fargas and Kenny Curtis played by Mister Jones was true to life. Being a jazz musician I enjoyed this film emensly. Mister Jones resembles Wesley Snipes in this film but his acting style is different. Nia Peeples nails Heather the fed up and some what hurt girlfriend of Adam Goodnight Cameron Smith. Needless to say for his first performance he was great. Also jazz pianist Joe Mc Bride was excellent as the comic relief in this dark dramatic film. I again say this film should have made it to the big screen.
