Review- Project Power (2020)

When a pill that gives its users unpredictable superpowers for five minutes hits the streets of New Orleans, a teenage dealer Robin (Dominque Fishback) and a local cop Frank (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) must team up with an ex-soldier (Jamie Foxx) to take down the group responsible for its creation. I was so excited to see Netflix's Project Power most especially because it starred Jamie Foxx, Dominique Fishback & Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The trailer looked great and I expected some edge of the seat action but I was let down by the poor execution.

Project Power had so much potential. A good story backed up by an amazing cast that could have probably done so much better with a better director. The dialogue was horrible and the action scenes were poorly executed. There were so many unnecessary one liners and the characters were annoying and even though the actors did their best with the material they were given, it wasn't enough to make this movie worth my time. The character development was poor and you barely feel any real emotional connection between the characters. Project Power had a very straight forward plot but it ended up all over the place and I got bored barely half way into watching. It was very bland and lacked substance. Rodrigo Santoro and Amy Landecker were wasted as the villains and we barely saw enough of them to truly understand the motive behind their agenda. We've seen movies in this genre and even with a somewhat fresh angle on this topic, Project Power never explores this and ended up falling flat.

RATING 4.5/10

DIRECTOR Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure. The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
