Review of Dead Presidents (1995) by Alex A — 26 Apr 2014

Dead Presidents is a drama/crime thriller with a great cast, solid performances and characters, a decent main character arc and a respectably disparate story. It's part coming-of-age, part war and part crime thriller.

These are all interesting sections of the film in their own right, but they inevitably cause the film to feel cramped at times, and some of the violence is exaggeratedly bloody and unrealistic. All in all, Dead Presidents is a decent film with a weak ending, it's neither terrible or great.
