Queen & Slim (2019)
2/10
Waste of celluloid.

Warning: Spoilers
Went into the theater blind with no knowledge of what i was about to witness. Opening scene for 5 minutes seemed gritty and well put together. Alas...as the minutes went by things got worse. The director(ha ha) tried to create tension but got nothing from the 2 leads....who were in themselves awful characters. Over the next 65 minutes the plot got more and more absurd...I say 65 minutes as that is about the time I put on my jacket and made my way home. In a world of sequels, remakes and superheros , we so badly need movies with new ideas and edges...but this just put it all back 20 years. The old " white cop shoots black guy " story has been told many times before and much,mush better....a new slant on things may have been welcome. Right the way through the racist language from all involved was so way over the top it was stomach churning. 2 innocent people get caught up in the killing of a cop and decide to run away for a dance and a horse riding lesson?? Do yourself and movie making a favor by staying away from this nonsense. Bad acting,,bad screenplay,,terrible characters make this one to be missed. One or two nice shots at one point but only worth a 2 at best. e
