Yeah. Shoulda had more promo. I didn't even know TI or Gabby was in the movie :dahell: don't even think TI posted it on his IG. shyt crazy
yeah, like i said, i follow Gabby is a great follow on her social media because she talks about everything she is doing and she never talked about this movie until a couple days before it was released. I don't think any of them knew it was coming out to theaters until a few weeks before. Jamie did NO press for it. You would have thought he would had done the ESPN car wash (First Take, SC, SN, HQ, etc) and he was nowhere to be seen. They probably thought this was going straight to DVD/streaming and all of a sudden the studio decided to put it out in theaters to see if it could get some traction and it failed...

Saw it last night.

Gabby still looks damn good :mjgrin:

Jamie was putting in that work in this movie but the one goon had Jamie :dead:

His son kept catching L's:mjlol:

Jamie was sweating through the whole movie like he was Django. Overall it was a good action flick. Some good violence. I enjoyed it

solid movie, its not great by any means imo.

TI acting was terrible

it was predictable who the dirty cop was

Jamie Foxx and his son was getting the beats lol

all this talk about who his pops was and dude didn't even show up :beli:

the ending sets up for a sequel but this flopped at the box office so......

The movie is ok but i just dont understand why they was doing all that for 25 keys. Seems like they was rich as fukk
8 mill is 8 mill
Technically..... every plot in EVERY MOVIE made and coming soon is a tired plot:martin:

Theres only 6 stories to be told and they BEEEN have been beaten to death.... but all people can do is attempt new ways to tell them. :comeon:

With that said..... this was a very solid movie, no need to be :mjpls: and judge him differently than a lot of the white guy actors. Hell we should rave more about performances like this so more blacks and other race actors can get these opportunities vs Hollywood looking for that next white hope.

They currently found and got Chris Pratt.... but we know they looking for that next one over any of the cast of NWA or any other shows with upcoming black guys looking for a chance,..... let this movie breath man:what:
The cat who played Dre is getting a shot on the new 24...I never watched 24 but I know the old one was a big deal so that's a good start.

But you right if this was Matt Damon this movie would get acclaim :mjpls: I actually like how they was able to make so much happen all in that casino and spa.
