watched both of them yesterday
for what it's worth, both these movies are just ok, nothing really ground breaking
however
the soundtrack is the only standout thing in the original
a moment of
for this
but the original is just spotty, the dialogue is borderline cartoonish and over the top. It's too 70's for the sake of being shot in the 70's.
and Ron O Neal is not intimidating. I don't know if it's his accent but nothing he says is actually convicting other than when he says Tonight in the Fat Freddie Scene
But the Remake ain't exactly Godfather II, the soundtrack doesn't hit at all, and I think the breh Trevor Jackson need to kill that hairdo, way too European influenced for my liking.
But the Snow Patrol tho
them brehs
really, they should've made this movie tell two stories.
But yeah, I think remake is way more impactful and stylish. The action scenes were the right amount of fukkery for a fictionalized take on Atlanta.
HOWEVER
I do think it could've been a mini-series on netflix to flesh it out.
