Viewing Notes
Received the incredibly tragic news that Chadwick Boseman passed away last night. Was in the middle of the TR TV watch party when the news broke and it gutted all of us. Was up all night reading tweets and tributes to this man, a few that had me in tears. What a giant of a human and terrible loss not only for entertainment but for humanity.
To celebrate his life I decided to spin up one of his films that I hadn’t seen (tbh watching Black Panther probably would’ve broke me). That was a good call. This is a solid “I must avenge my sister” flick entangled in the seedy underworld of corrupt movie moguls and politicians in and around the drug and prostitution scene. Definitely has that grimy feel to it all even with this group of solid actors. Wasn’t expecting to see Teresa Palmer pop up but that was cool. Nothing here that’s reinventing this particular wheel but it’s a solid action thriller that Boseman elevates.
Kinda blown away that this was directed by Fabrice Du Welz. Did not realize that he got lured away from doing his unique genre films for a bigger budget bigger cast project.
RIP Chadwick Boseman
