The movie was great.
It was predictable, female version of the movie John Q.

FAMÈ

I've never seen John Q. :dead:

And also everything doesn't have to be innovative or trailblazing. Idk.

Just finished watching

Loved it. The ending is def a tearjerker

Def get the John Q comparisons / possible inspo

But this certainly had a strong Tyler touch .

He managed to make it hilarious in some parts . That "bomb" had me crying

Like FAME said everything doesn't have to be a new concept. Barely anything is really new.  A lot of artistry is literally taking something familiar and adding your touch / style. Tyler did that wonderfully.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

This was different enough from John Q so it wasn't a ripoff.
If someone else wrote the movie it would be excellent because a parent risking their life for their child is something that most people can relate to and pulls at the heart strings. It's just that Tyler needs help.

Like how did Teyana's character just look at the surveillance camera and immediately say "yea looks like it wasn't her fault" bhchfgt

I started laughing within the first 30 minutes everything bad happens to her.  :dead:

I am not a huge fan of Tyler P at all, and I have maybe seen about 4 of his tv shows/movies
including STRAW, and I must say this was quite outstanding for him.
Taraji did a great job, and so did Sherri. Had my ass tearing up a bit.

OK fine..I might watch it

Just wasn't really in the mood for an intense drama or taraji looking distraught and disheveled the whole time
Ketanji Jackson has come this far by faith.

Ketanji Brown will still beatcho ass.

This is probably the best role she's had that required her to be distraught the entire time.
I hope she wins something for this. I'm still in awe of her performance, and she is one of those actors who
overdoes the role, but she was so in pocket here.

Aamerie.

Djdjdjdududud he's never beating the allegations

So it was nothing special at all

Mostly a social and economic justice commentary, which I could appreciate. But very much predictable

I enjoyed Sherri's performance actually

Ketanji Brown will still beatcho ass.

Sherri really surprised me

Her presence >>>

She said she didn't think she'd pull off such a serious role but Tyler knew she could do it

Kings instincts >>>
King period >>>>
