"Rockers" Film Review

1. How does Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace from Rockers compare to Ivan Martin from The Harder They Come?

In my opinion, Horsemouth was way better than Ivan Martin. The two of them shares similar backgrounds, with the mafia and many crimes involved, but Horsemouth knew how to deal with it. While Ivan ends up trading marijuana and killing cops just to became famous, Horsemouth decides to fight against the mafia, stealing all their goods just to distribute them among the poor.

2. What is your favorite scene from the film? Why?

I think my favorite part was the Horsemouth statement after Sunshine is taken by her dad. I loved this part, in fact i was so shocked while watching it, because Horsemouth broke the fourth wall and talks directly to the camera, to us the viewers. I found that so powerful, and added to his words, to that anti-violence speech, I think it makes it a unique scene.

3.  Did you like/dislike the film? Why/Why Not?

I really enjoyed this film, I think more than "The Harder They Come". It has a nice story-telling, and I think is way more cinematographic than the first film. "Rockers" has nice shots, the photography is very beauty and once more the soundtrack is incredible. I think the only thing I didn't like of the movie, was that the in the beginning of the film is a little confusing differentiate the characters, because there are too many of them in the same scenes.
