wow! this was even worse than Atomic Blonde! Between Glover's bad voice dubbing, the 1 hour long yawnfest that took up the whole middle of the movie, and the cheesy acting and dialogue- i could not force myself to stay interested.
I gotta hand it to them though, they know how to make the trailers look really good. They should give them an Academy Award just for that.
"Best, most enticing trailer for a crappy movie" lool

That is surprising, it looked a bit like Everly with Salma Hayek (anyone else remember that?).

Saw it Fri.
My biggest issue is that I was expecting it to be more fun, like a poor (wo)man's John Wick but with maybe a tad more humor. Got Black Dynamite/blaxploitation vibes from the TV spots and even opening with "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" playing and instead ...it's a dull crime movie/pseudo-family/love story drama with unlikable/forgettable characters and very forced emotion.
And, the few action scenes are shot in the dark or horribly edited. Song choice felt weird for the climatic battle as well even though it shares the name of the movie (Ike and Tina of course). Don't want to say very disappointed but certainly expected to have more fun.

Well, it was dumped by its studio into the January wasteland without advance critic or film festival showings. It's what you have to expect with movies that come out with a 2018 IMDb date just two weeks into the year. The whole reason was to advertise heavily, open quickly, and clean up the first weekend before reviews and word-of-mouth were out.

"Best, most enticing trailer for a crappy movie" lool I ALMOST went to see this one today. Based on the trailer… seems like i dodged a bullet. but now you got me curious exactly HOW bad it is and I will probably have to go, to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks dude, look what you made me do   |
