Viola and Neeson smanging? GTFOH :mjlol:

It kinda reminds me of Takers. Which was trash that I loved, so I'll wait on this. :jbhmm:

Premieres at TIFF, then the London Film Festival. I liked it. Some standout performances for sure. Great, great acting. Reviews might be mixed, but damn if they didn't show you the political disarray that is Chicago. I think if you liked "Boss" you will like this, personally.

Also, I didn't see it at first, but Kaluuya is a monster.

How was Brian Tyree Henry and Kaluuya’s performances?

It's an ensemble, so they are not in the film as much as you may think. I personally think Kaluuya's performance is frightening. Like he really feels like a Chicago goon. You get the sense that he could he have played the role in a bombastic manner, but instead he went uber-subtle, so when he flipped the script, he had folks in the film like :whoa:.

As for Brian Tyree, the role was originally cast with Andre Holland. Not sure why he dropped out, but ultimately I think BT in the role makes a lot more sense. Having met the guy, he's as far from a hood dude as it gets, but for some reason whether it's Paper Boi or this, he does an excellent job of inhabiting different worlds at the same time. On the one hand, he demands respect from a crew because he has put in work in these streets, but at the same time, he doesn't really want local respect anymore because its too f'n dangerous. Basically, some street level King Lear shyt. I feel like if I say any more it will give it away, but his character is very nuanced and layered.

The scenes between BT and Colin Farrell are good examples of what I'm talking about. Both scenes (one comes early, the other comes late) showing exactly why power matters in this world.
