Review of Get On Up (2014) by Keene F — 21 Feb 2016

A lot of movies like this never really seem to get rid of that cliché about how the singer is popular, then something happens to their band then everything falls apart. Though this one is different.

And it might just be the cast. The person playing as John Brown is amazing. He's energetic, he's comical, and witty, he's bad, and you want him to succeed. But when bad things happen he starts to slowly lose his sanity, and it's sad.

It's sad because many artists back then were so talented only to lose it and eventually die a broken man. But anyways this movie was great.
