Honor Up (2018)

Very well executed

Good movie but grossly overrated

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Man, I don't know why Kanye put up money for this trash. I wish I could get a refund of my Google Play rental fee for real! Dame Dash attempted to write, direct, star-in and narrate this so called gangster flick that was even worse than State Property 2. I get that his ego may be outta control, but let those with talent do what they do best. Bad script equals bad movie and the script was bad to begin with. There were old dudes playing young dudes and big homies younger than little homies? I was confused, but not just by the fact that so called kingpens were chillin' on a car parked on the street and doing the work of foot soldiers, which made no sense either, but what was with all the slow motion, opera music filled shoot-em-up scenes? And there were way to many of them!!! I guess the movie got green lit, because Dame paid for it all by himself, along with a few rich homies. A man who has made millions in the rap game and produced several other urban crime flicks should be over the same old same dope dealing movie, but what Dame Dash's fascination with the drug game is at 50 year old is beyond me. There are so many other black experiences to be told besides the overdone, ghetto ass drug dealing genre. I'd expect black excellence outta a guy of Dame caliber, but somehow he's still fascinated w/ pushing rocks on the block in Harlem. SMH!

This movie is extremely boring. Watched it once fell asleep midway through watched it again and it was a boring story line, acting was sub par. Dame dash constantly tries to recreate his 2 years of selling drugs and he's 50. Take yourself and your hussling buddies out of the movie and get younger people to play the roles it makes it more realistic people with grey mustaches and beards talking about selling crack.,Take yourself more out of the movie. Paid in full was great because you didn't narrate it and it wasn't your story nor did you play any major role in the movie your life story of 2 years of selling drugs is boring and this depicts it. This movie was pure trash.

Waaaaay too much narrating. The story was all over the place. This was just a bunch of shooting and poorly improvised lines. Yo, Dame! The next time you make a film, "Honor Up" and care what you present to the people that support you. I only gave this 2 stars instead of one because it didn't look like it was shot with the home video camera we bought my father in the 90's.

I think there was a different movie in mind in the beginning of the film but as the story line progressed everything began to fall in to place.
