Crazy Samurai: 400 vs 1 (2020)
37%
C+
“Crazy Samurai Musashi is a fascinating experiment in film making, but a failure as an engaging narrative. Still, there is a lot to be gleaned from this unique venture.” –

B+
“The Outpost is an uncanny and at times overwhelming experience, I heartfelt tribute that serves as a stark reminder of the cost of war rather than a mere glorification” –

B+
“Da 5 Bloods is a tremendous experience, though it is also clear that the copious amounts of Spike Lee's famous idiosyncrasies hurt as often as help.” –

Capone (2020)
40%
3/5
“At its worst, CAPONE needlessly obfuscates a moral journey told better by other crime dramas. At its best, it provides a unique lens through which to study a world famous icon of crime, stripped of muscular mythology to reveal the rotting pulp within” –

“Unfortunately, like a lot of the ideas, they never really capitalized on it and the idea was ultimately just forced into a simple plot device to move things along.” –

Belly (1998)
23%
“On paper, Belly is just another boilerplate crime drama about how a life of street crime can only end one way... In its execution lies perhaps one of the greatest displays of style as substance in contemporary cinema.” –

“The Gunman is a propulsive and fairly well-crafted action film like its predecessor. Unfortunately, it suffers far more from its barely functional screenplay and plot.” –

Chocolate City (2015)
“As opposed to the sharp cinematography and direction of Steven Soderbergh and his disciple Gregory Jacobs, Chocolate City goes for more intimately hazy and lingering POV shots.” –
