Black Dynamite

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Michael Jai White wrote, directed, and stars in Black Dynamite.

This is a comedy that is shot in the style of the blackspoiltation films of the 70s.

This film isn't for everyone. In fact, I'd say you probably have to be a fan of film making to really get all the jokes. But this is a funny movie. Interestingly, it actually gets better about halfway through the film when it stops taking itself seriously.

Cameos galore from lots of famous black actors. Nobody A list, but you'll recognize a lot of faces.

Tons of jokes about cliche film plots and story telling devices, including a funny scene where one person's innocent line sparks a 10 minute breakdown using ridiculous logic to figure out the villains' plan.

Again, this won't be everyone's cup of tea, and the first act is a bit slow, but it's worth seeing once for film fans.

7 out of 10.
