Review of The Beat

The Beat (2003)
10/10
A killer hip hop drama
16 August 2005
Rahman Jamaal, the lead in this film blows my mind! He spits raps from freestyles to classical music emanating from a bus stop and makes Mr. Marshall Mathers look like a school boy. This is 8-mile with an independent spirit and very entertaining.

This is not your normal bottom barrel indie film - it has high production value and looks and sounds fantastic.

I hope the Director Brandon Sonnier has something else in the works because he certainly has talent. From what I've read he was the youngest director at 19 to ever have a film in the Sundance Film Festival.

Definitely rent or buy this film.
