ATL
A Film Review By Paul Perkins
A Good Film
Thanks god I did not grow up in this new generation because being a kid is a hard thing to do nowadays. Kids have to worry about hanging with the wrong crowd, drugs, gangs and kids having babies so it sucks being a kid. And one thing for certain it does not matter what color you skin is no matter what people may say about it.
The musical ensemble is set in an Atlanta hip-hip roller-skating rink. T.I. will play Rashad, the head of a roller-skating team, while London will play New-New, an employee at the rink who is in love with him. The story is based on material by music producer Dallas Austin and T-Boz, a member of the pop group TLC.
ATL was a pretty good drama and it does make one point is never judge a book by its cover because what you think you know you are totally wrong. The story itself was good granted you have seen this type of film many times before.
But the acting was good much better than I thought it would be from a young cast who one of them is a rapper turn movie star which I know we have seen a lot of them lately. This time is T.I who plays Rashad who he did a good job in his role. But it too soon to see if he is going to be as good as Will Smith, Ice Cube and TV’s Ice T. The supporting cast was also good in their roles.
The second part of the film that was good was the music I like the soundtrack of the film a Rap soundtrack with some R&B which was a nice touch. The only thing I can say bad about it is I discover one of the key secrets in the film and I knew what was going to happen to one of the main stars. Other than that ATL was a pretty good film with a ton of movies opening this week this is one you should check out.
