Sollers Point (2018)

ridiculous rating

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Maybe it is not a coincidence that McCaul Lombardi, the star of this as Keith, had a supporting role in "American Honey" , another dreadful film with no real plot. I don't know how films get made without any real story , or plot and little dialogue, but this film is not much more then the lead actor moving from scene to scene and appearing sullen. He does interact with people but in the end I felt nothing at all for his character. There is no tension, no wondering what is going to happen next, because there is no story here. If there are any positives, it comes from the actors in very small roles who are extremely realistic in their portrayal of a very poor and ugly side of Baltimore, but they can't do much in their few minutes of screen time. The only thing I took away from this was the desire to never visit Baltimore.

Keith, a small-time drug dealer under house arrest at the home of his father in Baltimore, re-enters a community scarred by unemployment, neglect and deeply entrenched segregation. There, he pushes back against his surrounding limitations as he tries to find a way out of his own internal prison. Sollers Point is so boring that will probably have people sleeping before it even finishes and i'm sure of that. The acting was terrible especially from the lead and it was quite of embarrassing seeing Jim Belushi in a movie like this, very very bad guys. (0/10)

This movie is one of the worst pieces of cinema, I have had to sit through. The direction is uneven, cinematography is choppy and the sound is so horrible that the 10 people in the theater all stated that they missed 3/4 of the dialogue. The lead has an endearing blue color, hustler charm, but the characters are one dimensional characters. Can't tell if any of these actors are talented given the dialogue they had to work with. Jim Belushi looks embarrassed he took the part. The sound man needs to not work again. You can't hear dialogue, as the sound is so dismally inadequate!!!
