Queen & Slim

Had potential. The message is clear just hard to stay engaged in the acting when a dislocated shoulder heals within minutes...I mean, why even write it into the story if you're not going to research the effects of it? Defending the uncle that killed your mother was also far fetched. Power tripping cops, right on target. Kid killing the nice black cop, not. Anyways, if you can set all that aside and just see the message it is a necessary film.

This movie was very "eh" to me. I would still recommend this movie because there are many scenarios that happen in this movie that could be taken in different ways. After watching this movie I felt thoughtful about every thing that happened in the movie. I could not tell if I liked it or disliked it. The writing of the movie could have been better but the direction was beautiful. The scenes were beautifully shot...I liked the "look" of the movie. I did not like how some scenes cut back and forth into one another, that felt unnecessary. Overall, it was a nice movie, not really a message received though.

So two decent law abiding individuals meet up on a tinder date, then wind up accidentally killing a racist trigger happy cop. Then become wanted fugitives trying to evade being hunted and killed by the police and the system, and attempt flee to Cuba for sanctuary. Sounds interesting, but everything in between seemed slow, dull, and awkward. Didn't care for the prolonged soft porn car sex scene mixed with a protest scene. TRUE ROMANCE had a better love story. Watch Dark Blue and Panther 1995.
