Review of Chi-Raq (2015) by Bryan C — 29 Feb 2016
Mixed feelings on this one. The message is important and I actually kind of enjoyed the rhyming Greek play device -- the lyrics were clever and modern, plus I thought the music was solid. There are some great scenes and great performances. But the plot went in such a strange direction in the second hour that it was hard for me to enjoy the positives. Still, it's definitely a memorable movie and hopefully one that will send a message about gang violence.
Grade: B.
