Review

a film like this comes down to execution. the screenplay and idea were good enough so it was all about the acting and handling of tone and character. i didn’t think that hood did a very good job in these regards so the film lacked the emotional resonance required to be impactful. in rendition, he struck the chord well so i’d recommend that one first. good cinematography.
