I was pretty interested in the premise which is why I initially voted for it over the other choices. Unfortunately it ended up feeling quite lackluster in multiple areas.
I think one of my biggest issue is that for a story with such a specific setting of post-Katrina New Orleans, theres no sense of it aside from them directly mentioning hey were in New Orleans and it makes it feel like another generic crime story. Similarly, theres not too much shown concerning any of the struggles the characters go through besides them simply talking about how broke they are. Theres no particular details to latch on to make it memorable in any way and the characters, while potentially interesting, feel more underdeveloped than anything. Theres actually so many of them that the story becomes convoluted and starts falling apart by the end. T.I. was fun though.
I did not think the acting by the lead actor Moore was great either. Ive actually seen other movies hes been in and iirc he came off a lot better in that so I was a bit disappointed that he came off as having an actually distractingly poor performance to me. Like they make sure to tell us that Andre is his best friend multiple times and when hes killed, his reactions just felt so underwhelming. Not that I think he should be crying all over the place or that its impossible for people to bottle their emotions up similarly to how we are supposed to infer I guess.
Overall its a bit frustrating because of the potential. 5/10 though I could actually see it going down to 4 .
