This was watered down, but not completely unwatchable. Shouldn't have been called white men cant jump. Few bright spots though It was good to see Johnny Basil (Mobay, lt. Daniels) RIP, Slick Johnson steals the show in 2min, Vince Staples can act even if he's just acting like Vince Staples. Teyana Taylor was good but they combined the Rosie Perez character and Wesleys wife, and both their characters were better on their own.
"Billy" .
"All I care about is getting out of the Vista View apartments, because there ain't no "vista", there ain't no "view", and there certainly ain't no vista of no view."
Wesley and Woody chemistry and acting was just too good no way they could recreate that. But they took the whole dunking narrative out of the plot. When Jack Harlow dunks its not even a thing forreal.
Jacks character isn't even under pressure he is trying to get money for stem cells or his girl. Billy was getting chased by the mob. Jack lives in a rent controlled apartment in Beverly Hills. Billy was in the motel. Jack drives a Porsche.
Sidney Dean and this new guy don't compare at all either. Sidney was trying buy a crib. I don't know what this guy was trying to do. Dude was some kind of head case. Sidney was confident the whole time it was Billy who had mental issues. Plus dude aint even talk sh1t. Imagine Sidney Dean not talking his sh1t
There is no nudity limited cussing. And the basketball scenes lack that cinematic touch films like above the rim and white man cant jump put on mediocre basketball to make it look good. The basketball scenes look like some budget big 3 sh1t.
The movie really falls flat when trying to recreate the scene where they get a gun pulled on them. Some guy pulls out a flame thrower ...
And towards the end of the movie someone says we goin sizzler... does sizzler even exist anymore?
