Sleight (2016)

Perfectly adorable

Admirable film.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

At the start it felt like I was in for a treat. I felt like something very interesting will happen in this story. But little did I know that was the zenith of this movie. Everything went down from that cliff.On the hindsight the story is not so different form any other poorly written action movie. The directing was interesting enough to make it seem like this had something in it. If you have watched this movie and liked it then take a break and really think about the story. It is utterly ridiculous.This is not a good movie and I would recommend skipping it.

So we have a promising young black student, who has to drop out of a scholarship to deal drugs and perform street tricks. He's committed, though, implanting a bunch of metal in his arm to give himself the (totally bogus) ability to manipulate metals with a twitch of his fingers.What does he do with these skills? Steal things, break into things, get into fights.I'm pretty over the stereotyping of people based on skin colour.

I enjoyed this movie soo much, it has a twist of drugs/crime and some positive performance on magic revealing some truth unlike other magic movies. What i want to point out is the scene where Bo pauses the bullets is so amazing, i loved it because Angelo was mindfucked and couldn't believe it, maybe there is a plot twist and they all work for Bo lol. One important part is i want to congratulate the producers for being such trollers, i hated the fact there was a cliff hanger and i really want to know what happened to make Holly go "oh my god"

Didn't know a thing about this movie going it, except that it involved some magic (ala Now you see me)While there are some magic, it doesn't even try to base it on actual magic. all camera tricks & editing that can't be done in real life. And the story doesn't really make sense if you look into it.***SPOILERS***This supposedly smart 'engineer' implanted an electromagnet in his arm that looks like he got in a car accident. Then later on, tells us that there are fine wires running down his arms to his hands UNDER his skin (with no scars). REALLY?! You got an infected car wreck on your upper arm and then tell us that you have wires surgically implanted in the rest of your arm with no scars, all by yourself with one hand?! And the purpose of this is to levitate/move metallic object. Again, none of the writers seem like they took basic science. Magnets has no effect on precious metals or LEAD! So you can't levitate a silver ring, rip out gold teeth or stop lead bullets. Also, why make him this smart (seemly moral) dude if you're just gonna have him deal drugs, steal from his friends and dealer. If he really is smart and made an electromagnet implant that work, why doesn't he just sell it. And no bs about magic secret, a lot of magician sell their tricks & props for profit. And the whole reason he got into magic was to find out one trick, which that magician told for free. There is nothing in this movie that shows he's as smart as the movie claims. Everything in this movie makes him out to be a hustling hood rat (with a heart, but only for 3 people) who hates being a hustling hood rat. That's like saying peter parker hate being spider-man when he could be rich selling his web fluid.Lastly, on him owing his dealer money. He needed 9 grand, why not sell his car? He could've easily gotten 10k for it. Again, this dude is suppose to be smart?!
