Dope (2015)
Written & directed
by Rick Famuyiwa this film stars Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori,
Kiersey Clemons and Zoe Kravitz. A high school geek and his two
friends from a poor, crime ridden area accidentally get caught up in
selling drugs.
Taking a typical
lightweight coming of age story this film slaps on much heavier
issues than it is really prepared to deal with. To be honest I
thought the whole issue of drugs was poorly dealt with in this film
and women are not treated much better. There are good performances
from the young cast but the script holds this film back far too much
in my opinion.
2/5
