bubbas eleven, the only white characters are the bank employees and cops aka bad guys |
Why does it matter if there are "token" any "x"?' s. Could live without that comment & your point is "racial" in origin & don't see any value at all, regarding skin color? Think we are here to determine if the movie is good, not judge the skin tone & how many of each!:) Thank you! RT! |
Thanks for the great review about b-11. I'm going to pass on it. |
Thanks for the trailer @Dronska!:) Much appreciated my friend! |
That's quite an achievement since there's no resemblance whatsoever. |
80 Million used to be a lot! Back then you could produce a decent movie for even less than that. |
Never heard you say that in the previous hundred years of cinema. |
Based on a real-life heist from 1988, the Showtime original feature is slapdash and spare, depicting an oddly uncinematic telephone-based scheme to steal money out from under racist managers. Bank robbers tend to be fairly easy to root for in movies. After all, it’s not the audience’s money getting pocketed onscreen. They typically don’t want to kill anybody, and their schemes tend to be pretty spectacular. “Heist 88,” a new Showtime release inspired by a real-life Chicago robbery from the year 1988, doesn’t trust viewers to be so accepting, so it spends most of its time underlining the generic reasons that its aggrieved crack team have for taking on the job. It’s a crime film that finds little joy in criminality, crammed with characters who’ve been backed into a corner, hindered by an overarching morality that doesn’t match the material. |
A nice copy and paste from variety there Murphy, J. K. ‘Heist 88’ review: Courtney B. Vance rounds up a crew for an extremely unimpressive bank robbery. (2023, Sept. 29). https://variety[dot]com/2023/film/reviews/heist-88-review-1235738288/#! |
I am afraid even decent movie reviews like this are written by chatgpt these days. Human perception and opinion on subjective issues are fundamentally biased and ai has a potential to normalize our stupefied soical norms |
Sometimes I wonder Jaxe if your name in real life is Eugenio Ariano Omodei, or something on that line |
You can not perceive by someone's appearance whether they are a mastermind or not, this is determined by other factors of someone's personality namely their intellect. But of course your genius mind already knew this I am sure... |
The dude sees only black people and claims they cannot be "masterminds" because they're black. He's a simple racist and so are the ones that upvote or like such a racist "joke". The dude makes no secret of his bigotry, only staff is having problems with bigots being called bigots. |
Courtney B. Vance in a role where he's not a DA or lawyer. Watched it. Not really exciting and paints US as white devils who owe the black people everything. Give it a 2 out of 5. Great to watch if you need some noise on in the background otherwise waste your time on something more relevant to you needs |
Yet another racist "joke" by you. Sure, why not? Staff doesn't give a fuck. But you can count on them for defending your racism hand and nail. |
Amazed the 'W' term is not used in the comments. Might be verboten now. Imma watch this anyway. Just to spite that lot. |
