OFFICIAL REVIEW OF “THE LAST DISCIPLES” MOVIE BY POET/AUTHOR MARC LACY….
When I saw The Last Disciples on Sunday, May 22nd, 2016, (8pm @ Hollywood 18, Huntsville, AL), the intensity, drama, and energy put me in the mindset of Deep Cover, The Matrix, The Wire, New Jack City, Man of Fire, Training Day, Treme, Boyz in the Hood, Gridlocked, Menace to Society, Book of Eli, Colors, Beat Street, The Warriors, and Baby Boy. However the symbolism, depth, and cultural integrity reminded me of Roots, Sounder, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, The Color Purple, The Passion of The Christ, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Glory, Barbershop, and a Soldier’s Story. Lastly the cinematography effects were dramatic and similar to what you’d see in a Spielberg or Landis directed production.
