Straight up, the movie nails the message it's trying to throw down without dragging it out. People in our hood are getting more down and out every day, getting hit hard by all that negative news. They're forgetting their dope moves or straight up downplaying them. The movie's trying to shine a light on that, and the drama part hits right, but it fumbles when trying to pull off comedy.
I didn't vibe with any moment the flick tried to be funny; it was straight-up cringe. It could've been a real raw drama flick on a low budget, but they tried to sprinkle in some dark humor. Too bad it fell flat, no dark, no laughs. Especially dropping crying scenes every time the characters, like the whole country, are feeling low, expecting us to laugh. That's really bad and unnecassary.
Especially, they threw in crying sequences every time the characters, like the whole country, are unhappy, expecting us to laugh. Those parts were terribly cringe-worthy, really bad. Overall, the actors, despite being no-names, deliver performances that are not bad and don't feel forced. However, those crying scenes were genuinely regrettable.
I applaud Umut Subasi for attempting something new; the score doesn't matter as much as trying something different in our current mediocre cinema. Thanks to the actors, but if the comedy parts didn't pull the movie down, it could've had a much stronger ending.
In short, drama's not bad, but the comedy's a no-show, and the ending's just okay. Worth a shot though."
