❌ [Waste of Time]
Too much time is devoted to build up that doesn’t make you like the characters or get any meaningful back story to them. Then when it gets to the “crazy” part it’s a little interesting but eventually you end up wishing the camera had night vision because you don’t see shit.

With Rocky not showing up this is the first real CREED movie instead of a just another Rocky sequel. Rewatching in Dolby Cinema soon.

Surprisingly funny! Wesley Snipes shit talking mode is top tier. Rosie Perez brought it down a lot for me though, whenever the movie cuts away from Wesley Snipes and focuses on Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez the movie was boring.

I liked the premise and going in blind into this movie I was caught off guard with what the movie is actually about. Writing felt like a telenovela but played seriously with no campiness.
Quentin: In the next shot she puts her foot in my mouth and pours whiskey down her leg... ah haha.. just kidding... unless...?
Watching this is an extremely jarring experience, the setup and costume designs are intriguing but the constant nonsense monologues and wide eyed close up screaming breakdowns get old really fast. Borderline unwatchable, the found footage/handheld shaky camera work is the cherry on top. There are cool visuals scattered throughout though.
