Neville,
the struggling comedian and drug junkie fights throughout the film to
overcome his fear of drugs and find true love. Along the way he meets
Niko (Deborah Cox) a young singer searching for her own past and someone
to make her laugh. But Neville’s troubles stem more from his family
than anything. Enters his brother Matthew, an angry boxer with demons
that force him into a harsh relationship with everyone and everything
that confronts him. The cast is nothing short of brilliant, Larenz Tate is flawless and Deborah Cox turns out to be a wonderful surprise in her film debut. Director Clement Virgo is a breath of fresh air in this overly commercial moment of filmmaking. Bringing the same unique and different approach to film the same way that Spike Lee did with Mo’ Better Blues. Virgo is one director not to be missed. |
