Plot summary

Erik is a hip-hop-lovin' teen living in Philadelphia who'd rather spend time listening to his idol, the rapper Prolifik. One day, Erik finds himself more entangled in Prolifik's life than he ever imagined possible: Prolifik's been kidnapped, his master tapes are gone, and, through a series of twisted events, the same people who are after the musician go after Erik, too.

Unremarkable but watchable

Snipes is a movie that suffers from sloppy storytelling and overall uninspiredness, but it held my attention even if not the most engaging.There are several issues present throughout. The plot isn't necessarily bad, but it's pretty convoluted and not in a clever way. The film seems aware of how much the viewer would need to know to understand the plot, and thus tries to compensate by throwing several brief flashbacks to relevant information from earlier in the movie. It works in terms of making things clear, but feels very lazy. The movie explains itself a lot but I never felt particular interest in why things happened or what was going to happen.The filmmaking is rather TV movie-like. It's not badly shot but it's hardly impressive. I was not a fan of the music supervision, as I felt some parts would have benefitted from different or no music, but the movie way too often feels the need to add hip-hop instrumentals wherever it can.It's a bit hard for me to think of genuine positives in the film, but I will say it wasn't boring. Snipes is not exactly to my taste, but the movie manages to keep a solid pace. It's a serviceable two hours and competently made despite my lack of true engagement.

This movie is great... if you are from Norway

Nelly is the bestest, and if you like band-aids and testicularless rhyme styles, this is the movie for you. In this movie, you get to see nellys ass when he gets out of the shower, so if you are from norway, you will really, really, really love this movie. GO #TURNTABLISM
