Review of The FP (2011) by Jordan H — 18 Aug 2013

I love my friends, thanks to them I have seen incredible movies I wouldn't have probably seen on my own. Of course with that sometimes you end up seeing a movie like The FP. A gangland rivalry film where disputes are settle via a Dance Dance Revolution type game.

The good, well the electronic infused soundtrack is quite catchy, everything else is bad. The plot is basically the main character JTRO watching his best friend die playing the game at the beginning (it's not lethal as a point yet somehow he still dies) so he goes into exile is prompted back to save the neighborhood (the titular FP).

You get bad acting compounded by the decision to add there own slang and style of talking which makes some me wish there was an English translation at times. You also get the training montage, the win the girl back from his rival, learn to respect and stand up for yourself.

It feels like it would a great parody of these yet everything is done so seriously that it just comes off painful. The FP commits fully to it's premise to bad that doesn't help it be a good film.
