Movie to reconsider ::: Dirty

Photobucket

Cuba Godding Jr. ; rips the screen apart in this California; good cop, bad cop, portrayal. It is reminiscent of Training say, however with all of its twist and turns it keeps you at the edge of you seat and is by no means a knockoff of the critically acclaimed Denzel Washington, Award winning film. It is the next chapter in a book on Los Angeles and the police forces that has sworn to server and protect it.

Dirty stands on it own two feet and delivers a wallop that you will feel for weeks. It sticks with you like ribs from Crenshaw Blvd on a hot Saturday afternoon, and you will love every minute of it. With Clifton Collins Jr, who is one of Hollywood hidden gems that you can always count on to deliver a solid performance, within the boundaries of Dirty, he deliver a powerful one, and I do not use this term loosely.

With a supporting cast that delivers the grit all that way to the end. Keith David, one of Hollywood's solid supporters, you can always count on him to add the realism to the screen that very few supporting actors can. Keith David brings the grit and and the subtle edge you need to fill out the story with elements that leaves a lack to question.

The movie is also starring in no particular order, Wood Harris, Wyclef Jean, Aimee Garcia, Brittany Daniel, and Cole Hauser.

This film is a must see if you love cop films with edge and twist that keep you in suspense long enough to lose any surety that you may have about the directions the plot is taking you.

It is funny that you say that, I felt the same exact way about him. He did not have that Authenticity in an actor that I was looking for. After seeing this I realized that he had mass amounts of potential that is untapped. Also take a look at Shadow Boxer, which he stared alongside Helen Mirren( The Queen) you will like this film as well.

Thanks for stopping by. your comment golden in my mission.
