Review of Equal Standard

9/10
Not sure why the bad reviews
5 April 2023
While I agree, the female lead Syleena Johnson cannot act her way out of a paper bag, this movie still was pretty decent. In fact, I nearly passed on it because of the low score. Ice T backed this movie from what I understand and I grew up a fan so I gave it a try.

This movie is interwoven stories that all connect in some way which is revealed later on in the movie. This technique has been used in films like Pulp Fiction and Crash. The movie is low budget but the story is still interesting and kept my attention. One thing that's scary is what if all the street gangs got together and called a truce. They'd easily outnumber law enforcement.

There's an underlying story here about a black cop killed by his own fellow cops. From there the perspectives of various characters set the tone for the movie. While it won't win any Oscars, it's still a decent watch.
