He was acting well before he got into music. That's common knowledge.

Been knew that. Just wanted to be sure that is where you were coming from.

He became famous from his music first before ever acting in a big film though.

Mos Def was an actor as well but became famous from music before being in a few big movies.

I disagree with your statement cause I look at it from the standpoint of what they got famous for first which is music regardless of them acting as kids but never being known for being actors.

Fair enough.
 
I know some folks are claiming in here that they don't judge movies on a curve but I (and everybody who is honest) honestly do.

I can't honestly compare a movie like John Wick to something like Pulp Fiction. Even if both can kind of fall into the action genre one has a way better story and fleshed out (in one film I might add, lmao.) characters and an actual hint of suspense while the other is a straight popcorn shoot me up flick.

Belly is far from a Cinematic masterpiece and lord know it has a ton of flaws but I can't compare it to bigger budget action films in good conscience. If properly rated means it was a watchable film with some redeemable qualities that wasn't a complete train wreck then it's properly rated.

Well according to some of the folks who posted in this thread, they don't classify movies in that sense. Lmao.

How about Keanu Reeves acting overall? That would be interesting to see folks opinions on him.
 
Crazy thing is the movie could have been even more ridiculous....in the director s commentary Hype Williams said the opening was originally young Tommy selling his soul to the devil literally....they had to scrap that and ended up with the young Tommy burning the dollar bill

You shouldn't compare the two.

One IS an action movie and the other is a drama.

John Wick is more comparable to the Bond and Bourne films

While Pulp Fiction is more comparable to a Goodfellas or Departed

You are 100% correct and the funny thing Is i wouldn't compare Wick to the two movies you mentioned also. Lmao

Both those movies you named have way more depth than the Wick films eventhough they are building on the universe

Synopsis:

Ever since they were kids, Sincere (Nas) and Buns (DMX) have lived life close to the edge, doing whatever it takes to survive. As adults, they build up their kingdom of crime on drug dealing and robbery. But Sincere grows weary of the criminal lifestyle and joins a black Muslim religious group. Buns, on the other hand, sinks deeper into criminality and faces serious prison time. The cops offer him a deal, however -- assassinate the head of the Muslim group, and he will go free.
