Claudio C Dead Presidents (1995) Life After the War (12,035 – 03 Nov 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In 1968, Anthony “Tony Youngblood” Curtis (Larenz Tate) lives with his family in Bronx. When he concludes high school, he does not want to go to college and prefers to join the Marine Corps to fight in Vietnam. In 1969, he leaves his pregnant girlfriend Juanita Benson (Rose Jackson), his family and his boss Kirby (Keith David) and is sent to Vietnam. In 1973, he returns to the Bronx as a decorated sergeant and meets Juanita and his daughter Sarah. and without qualification, works in a local butcher shop. When he loses his job, he plots a heist of an armored truck with his friends, but things go awry. “Dead Presidents” (1995) is a gripping and riveting action movie by Albert and Allen Hughes. The plot is based on the story of a loser, who does not want to go to the college and prefers to join the Marine Corps to fight in the Vietnam War. When he returns to his country, he does not find a job and ambitious, plots a heist. The conclusion is expected and easy to foresee. The acting is top-boych, with great black actors as protagonists. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “Ambição em Alta Voltagem” (“Ambition in High Voltage”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review D P I remember when people were hyping this film. The only thing I could remember was Chris Tucker's eyes glazed over. And that's it. So, I gave it a try recently, and I had to watch it twice in order to give it a fair assessment. I know what the film wanted to say, but it just didn't touch me in that way. I just became annoyed that the film wasn't executed better. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Jelisije J I believe the late great Roger Ebert said it best this movie starts off great ,but somehow manages to get lost along the way and it feels like an incomplete film that had another 30 minutes left to go........Wasted Potential is the best way to describe this film.
