Viewing Notes
To cap off movie night, we had to go with another movie that came out in 1991 and Jay hadn’t seen it, so it felt right. I saw this in a theater in Bloomington, IL when it came out and I’ve loved it ever since. I still don’t quite know how Judd Nelson ended up in this but he has some great lines! This is like a minor GODFATHER/SCARFACE mashup cloaked in neo-blaxploitation style and I’m here for it.
