Review of Chi-Raq (2015) by Zachary M — 17 Jul 2016

I feel like I was bait and switched with this movie. The adds sold you a powerful drama about real life crime and violence issues from a film maker with a good track record with making movies dealing with hard hitting social issues.

Then we're given musical numbers, unrealistic characters, and Samuel Jackson being amazing in his typical over the top manner. It's just hard to take the moments of hard biting social satire serious, when everything else around them is so bat shit crazy.
