Review of Chi-Raq (2015) by Proteus — 07 Dec 2015
Critics will love this movie because it is verbal clever and opinionated. But its a mess needs an editor badly and has a lot of junk in it that shouldn't be there. There is a long long long tirade by Cusack as a preacher who is wildly mis-cast and could have been cut completely.
...its just a monologue from a liberal nightly news program...lots of stuff like that. On the other hand there is a lot of clever writing and word play and some good acting by the female cast and parts are very funny.
A mixed bag. Go see it if you like an urban drama comedy with a message I guess.
