My favorite Spike flick is School Dazed and this reminded me of that same energy. It has all the Spike tones among that lack of focus where he seems he has so much to say that it seems convoluted. Sam jackson got robbed not being nominated for this. I can't remember the last time he was so magnetizing.Every time he's on screen my ears perk up and I was eating every little word.A lot like a better articulated version of senor Love daddy from DTRT. I never seen Nick Cannon act better than he's done here. No not even Drumline. I'd.I'd love to see Teyonah Parris in a more serious main role. She can be huge if given the chance. Everyone else did awesome. I believe the idea here was to deliver a serious message using parody and satire, which spike used in other of his work.Everyone from the Chi say how much they hate the word but do not see that in the movie itself characters feel the same way. When the movie ended I couldn't stop thinking about it. I feel like we're all are represented in that story depending of our POV. Some of us are Chiraq, some of us are Ms Helen, most of us are the guys led by Steve Harris character, some of us are the mayor. I'll definitely cop the Blu Ray when it drops.
