CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Violet Weed I liked the good actors in the movie, but the movie itself was just another racist movie. Trying to blame American Whites for the stupidity, race-genocide and lack of progress of American Blacks. I fought my way to survive in the world from the age of 12 when I moved from home to a big city and became a programmer. That was 52 years ago. I fought for the rights of WOMEN, no matter their ace. I still remember what it was like to take off that !@$@!!! girdle and wire-rimmed bra and throw them into the garbage, never again to wear such contrivances until my 50s when my b**bies 'requested' support, but then I was smart enough not to wear wire-rimmed bras but 'sports' bras.So the guy is an ad executive and that somehow is a crime. He wouldn't have pushed stereotyping if the customers didn't want it.But for years now I have known the truth about racism. It is American Blacks who perpetuate it by blaming whites for things WE never did. WE do not hold back blacks, WE do not MURDER blacks, WE do not impregnate black women and 'force' them to go on welfare. If I can survive on my own from 12 on, so can ANYbody. Granted I'm smarter than 99.5% of the world, oh well, still God gifts His/Her children equally, in one way or the other. Get over your 'poor little me' agenda, we ALL face stereotyping and prejudices, the worst one is pretending that MEN rule the world. NO ONE rules the world, the world 'just is' and we are nothing more than parasites living on its crust.
rondave72 Although a little heavy handed at times with the central theme, "Drop Squad" is an excellent movie. The characters are developed in a way that uses stereotypes to highlight major issues in the black community with identity and the moral responsibility of its members. It is a well directed film and well worth watching.My only strong criticism of this film is that it requires an active viewer. It is doing a lot and sends a lot of messages. Minor characters are not explained more than brief sound bites and quick flashes on the screen. You have to make an effort to keep up and if you don't pay attention to the details you are going to get lost. I wish the director had spent a little more time developing these characters, especially since it is clear that they are meant to represent elements of the community he means to and does criticize. If the characters were important enough to recap at the end, then they were important enough to explain in the first place.
bwilkers Many top name actors appear in this film. A must see film for all people! Definitely makes one think about and analyze your own values. Race is a very strong determining factor in American society and this movie speaks to what it means to be true to yourself.
Brendan3 What's the lesson the film makers are trying to get across? 1. If a black man tries to succeed, he is betraying his roots. 2. All white people are bumbling dunderheads with no sense of rhythm or street savvy. 3. All white people are racist whether they realize it or not.This is the most thick headed racist film I've ever seen and the only reason it hasn't been labelled as racist by the press is that it's anti-white and many people are afraid to label that racist. Racist is racist, whether anti-black or anti-white and films like this only encourage ignorance.
