Review of Purple Rain (1984)

Review of Purple Rain (1984)

By Robert P (779) on 28 Apr 2016

The film was great when I saw it in '84 at the age of 14. I still love the music, but the poor plot and acting is noticeable in 2016…

No disrespect to Prince. He's a great singer and performer, but when it comes to this film, it's awful…

Review of Poetic Justice (1993)
