Dmitri V 05/21/2023 Such a great and impactful movie, there were super funny moments, and very serious moments, all the actors did so good, and David So was so good! See more Dominique W 02/27/2023 Exceptional race drama inspired by and definitely superior to American History X. See more harsh c @H_A_R_S_H 07/19/2021 I don't know why but I found all of the characters lacked authenticity, except the older store owner. Very hard to sympathise with such self-destructive behaviour. See more 04/29/2021 Wow, where to begin here. For a movie about race, it seems white supremacy doesn't even exist. It looks at the most surface level interactions between black people and koreans in LA during the 92 Rodney King riots, but black people/rioters are made out to be the main antagonists. Maybe that's meant to add "depth" but the way it's portrayed in the film is as tone deaf as the film is colorblind. It also borrows heavily from Spike Lee's language, but only in a superficial way, with hardly any of the charm and vivacity that comes across so clearly in Lee's Do the Right Thing. Nothing in this film really seemed organic. The writer, director and lead actor, Justin Chon, wrote with a very heavy hand, with any hints of subtlety ruined by the obviousness of the plot. It's heavily emotional, but with no analysis of race. I finished it but just barely. Very amateurish attempt, pass on this one See more 04/08/2021 an intelligent film these guys will probably never work again knowing sad state of Hollywood See more 09/22/2020 Horrible movie that should have went with color.
