“This movie is a real hard attempt to gain a pop following. The problem is itu0026#39;s done so cheesy itu0026#39;s hard to like it and most certainly will never obtain the kind of fandom a movie like snatch obtained. It starts out in one of the beginning scenes where they are being chased for spray painting a wall and they light the smallest most worthless fire and the guards chasing them stop to put out the smallest fire that has no possibility of growing as itu0026#39;s nothing more than a few sheets of newspaper. At the same time they show this robbery that is so unbelievable itu0026#39;s hard to take it seriously. The opening scene basically shows how poorly put together this movie is. I know, it wants to be Hollywood and anything can happen, but even a Hollywood writer knows better than to add something that lame. At least in Hollywood they would have magically created a real fire to slow down the guards instead of a fire the equivalent of the comics section because frankly the lameness of it made me laugh and say OK that was bad. I am surprised I made it all the way through the movie as frankly the movie was boring, totally unrealistic, filled with clichés, had poor dialog and bad acting. Even the supposedly artistic scenes in the movie are simply uninteresting as they try to make this kid out to be the next banksy with his stencil u0026quot;street artu0026quot; that seems as bland as can be. As he is instantly having all his pieces preserved. You become bored in the dialog written by people who donu0026#39;t really know street art because they have never done it trying to sound u0026quot;deepu0026quot; in talking about it. I assure you if his works were being preserved itu0026#39;s because they are already worth massive value. Yet he canu0026#39;t seem to make a dime and needs a sponsor to you know help him make money. Logic really starts to fall apart at the end of the movie but iu0026#39;m not going to spoil it. I gave this move a 5 which frankly is being generous. A lot of effort into a poor script that was badly acted out. There are much better movies to watch and this is 2 hours you wonu0026#39;t ever get back.”
