Gorgeous mediocrity. Whoever called this Belly 2019 was on point. Cinematography was exquisite but the story left A LOT to be desired and just kind of ends.
Slim is a fukking moron and Queen is a stuck up bytch who wasn't worth the bandwidth used to load the Tinder profile.
The kid and his "ghetto" father who got hit by their truck
Said truck being stolen from the sheriff
That godawful gas station scene with Slim that almost made me cut this shyt off
These nikkas on the run but decide to go horseback riding because hey...the mention of slavery days will get us likes on Black Twitter
The sex scene juxtaposed with the protest that ends with the mechanics kid killing a decent cop
The "it be your own people" cherry on top at the end
This could've been a better movie in more capable hands
All of the side trips these two idiots were making was so frustrating. Who in their right mind is stopping to go dancing or horseback riding while their on the run from the law for murder
Imagine if you turned on the news and saw a wanted fugitive got caught at a nightclub. That would be comedic fodder for years. There was some stuff that I liked, but the lack of realism in that regard really overshadowed everything else. By the end of the movie I didn’t even care if they got caught, because they clearly didn’t.

Movie was fukking ass and a waste of my time. Felt like I got conned and finessed. Felt like they rode the wave and took advantage of my spirit.
Made Queen unlikeable and stuck up.
They had the young black kid kill a good cop who happened to be a bruh
Queen uncle being a pimp who killed her mother
Stupid fukking movie that used black plight and current events to finesse you into watching it.

or to go dancing??? 
fukking dancing
I was over it at that point.

All this. The story was moved by dumb decision making and general ratchetness. None of it was realistic. They dropped the ball by making the couple some 1st date tinder shyt amongst many other things.
DaRealness
I think very deeply
So much bullshyt and stupidity in this movie it wasn't even funny. Plus the bytch was annoying and combative right from the start for no reason at all and escalated the whole situation with that racist pig in the first place.

people will commit crimes on camera in broad day light, attatched to social media so it's not that unbelievable How the fukk you on the run and risk it all to go horse back riding in someone's farm ??

First, lemme start with a customary Lena W is trash.
Now, on to the movie itself. It was visually stunning, and I liked it overall, but it had some real problems at the end of the day that's already been mentioned in this thread. I don't like how week that made breh as the lead. I get what they were trying to do but it was heavy handed as fucc and they poured it on thick. They both became a little more sure of themselves as they embraced the freedom of being on the run but my god if they didn't commit some of the most stupidest shyt known to man throughout this flick. It's like, the general anxiety created by the film's atmosphere would ultimately be ruined by both these mf's doing some dumb shyt.
The sex scene was really good and yet they chose to cut that off the knees wit lil breh cappin' an innocent black man in the grill
Overall, movie had hella potential but fell short of reaching its pinnacle. Still, I enjoyed it a lot more than what I thought I would, which is why it took me so long to getting around to watching it in theb1st place. The two Brits had nice chemistry and when they were allowed to flourish in moments like in the lil dive bar, it's great, but again, it a take you right back out wit some dumb shyt.

Just watched trumps speech from yesterday. He makes a point to talk about a black police officer who was shot in the riots
immediately made me think of us all commenting about this movie. Especially that scene. And now here we are.
While different in details.... a cop video has lead a nation of black people to stand up and protest. And it’s gotten out of hand. And a black cop is who paid for it.
I said that was the message when I saw it. And I definitely think I was right about it now.
Still a silly movie tho

I don't think I have ever hated a well-made film more in my life than this. The screenplay was borderline trash, I totally got that it was more of a romantic fantasy story but they root it in such realism that almost every decision made by anyone just becomes too dumb for words.
The gas station scene with the school shooter asking to hold the gun was bad enough. I never walk out of a movie but it was there and then that I realized the sloppy execution of the cop killing scene was only the start of this film's narrative problems.
The sex scene juxtaposed with the protest was baffling. Matter of fact, sex scenes never work in juxtaposition of anything other than violence (love vs hurt). Might be the worst narrative use of a sex scene since Munich.
Of course the protest scene in itself is a contender for worst scene in the film by including the black kid who worships them and shoots the cop. No matter what idea they had behind it, no matter how they wanted to emphasize the dangers of worship culture of cop killers, how do you put that scene together and not see how bad the optics are of having a black boy pull out a gun at a protest and kill a cop? That visual is a 'Law & Order' touting MAGA's wet dream.
Which brings me to the portrayal of black people in general. I'm the last person to complain about agendas but this was like a parody of every spirit of hotep-induced criticism of the media's portrayal of black men put together. It is a horrid cocktail of every bad black male stereotype they could think of (openly adultering father who curses out his son, pimp who beats women) but simultaneously featuring no less than three goodhearted light skin black cops (the cop at Earl's house who loved one of his girls, the cop getting shot at the protest and the cop letting them escape).
And all the white people are comfortably nice to a point of madness. They encounter a nice white sheriff from Kentucky who even as he is informed by radio he likely has two black suspects sitting in his vehicle, doesn't immediately call it in but calmly tries to talk to them even as he clearly catches Slim trying to start and steal his pickup. Again, a white sheriff from Kentucky!
Then there's the nice white couple who have no problem harboring fugitives they don't personally know because an old army friend asked them to. No problem whatsoever committing this serious felony. But the next person the couple refer them to immediately sells them out (that person is black of course).
This film needed a serious rewrite or two by someone not having their head stuck up their self centered ass, it could've actually turned classic. It's nothing but praise for the director to actually make the romance somewhat work in this toxic mess of a story.

I never felt so pissed and felt taking advantage of after watching a film until I saw this movie. One of the worst films ever. TRASH.
This bullshyt won movie of the year at the BET awards
