    The power of film to make statements and to effect meaningful change is truly quite impressive. But it’s also possible for the impact of that influence to be diminished when a picture overstates its case, a problem that seriously hampers the latest feature from writer-director Boots Riley. This second offering from the filmmaker in many ways echoes themes introduced in his debut release, the deliciously satirical “So…

    This is a low-IQ movie written by a low-IQ dummy for the lowest IQ zombies walking this earth. One of the worst attempts at an artsy movie I've ever watched (part of anyway). Several people in the movie theater got up and left and we eventually did as well. Full disclosure: We live in a very nice part of the city, not anywhere near the ghetto part of town.

I mean, for instance, how many movies have you watched recently that had lit…

    Well hurray, a movie about shop lifting meant to punish a successful person. The narrative of the have nots pursuing the destruction of the haves. I do not condone nor support this activity in life and I find it disgustingly glorified in this film. Pure offal! 0/10
