![]() ![]() Andron feels kind of like an intro into something bigger, like a series. I like how they put the story together how it made me think of movies like Rollerball (1975) and others I love so much but with it's own look and feel. ![]() I was able to sit through the whole movie and give it my undivided attention, which is extremely difficult for me to do. It might not be the most original story, but originality can be difficult when it comes to the Dystopian genre. I'm a huge fanatic of the Dystopian genre, which is pretty wide. That alone is worth the price of admission. Still, in the end, an enjoyable feel good movie which paradoxically portrays black folks not as typical Hollywood caricatures, but as humans. These are heroes to the black community? Two thugs? Well, that's the way many see things including Cube, apparently. Sadly, the movie takes the easy road blaming slavery and citing as heroes Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin. The Big Question comes up: what to do about black on black violence which in Chicago (the setting) claims maybe a dozen lives a week. The social issues will split the audience. The personal issues are rather mundane - you've seen them all before done as well as here. This is, again, a combination of in store banter, which is by far the most entertaining aspect of the movie, a bit of personal issues with families outside the shop and again, like in #2, addressing larger social issues which face the US. I admit to being a fan of both the Barbershop series and Ice Cube or at least the Ice Cube I've seen in a few movies. ![]()
