Review of Idlewild (2006) by Robert C — 01 Nov 2010
A big ol' wonderful mess. Great music, uneven acting, writing, and directing with moments of brilliance. If Flo Ziegfeld had staged hip hop dance sequences, this is what they would have looked like.
Terrence Howard overacts, as he usually does when he has a director that doesn't reel him in. Somehow, though, once you start watching this movie, you can't take your eyes off the screen. And more Jackie Long, anybody, please, cast him more.
Talk about an undiscovered gem.
