Netflix says:
"Writer-director James Toback crafted this sprawling New York City ensemble piece to be improvised like live theater, with unique and satisfying results. A huge cast of actors, rappers and celebrities (including Brooke Shields, Mike Tyson, Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller) play out a drama that unfolds as black and white America combine - and abrade - on Manhattan's streets."
Hey, Toback - evidently nobody has ever told you this -
"EDGY" does not equal GOOD. "CONTROVERSIAL" does not equal GOOD. "PROFANE" does not equal GOOD. It is entirely possible for even YOU to make an edgy, controversial, profane movie that SUCKS.
Pointless, insulting, idiotic. Made me wish, with a sense of nostalgic longing, that I was watching "Up the Academy" instead. At least that movie was intentionally stupid.
Bright spot - gay RDJR hitting on Mike Tyson. Unfortunately, that scene lasted about 3 minutes, which left me with an hour and 36 minutes of the Jerry Springer Show, smattered with celebrities.
There's a reason you've never heard of this one. Consider yourselves lucky. I'm going to go soak my eyes in Windex now.
Rating? Please. What is the smallest fractional number between 0 and 1? That's what I give this one.
