Candy

The only thing nice about this movie are the girls. They fine as hell. Everything else is gabbage. From cinematography, to acting, to story, to soundtrack, to cast, to even the special effects used. Wack!

While not on the level of a classic blaxploitation or a newer classic 90s hood film, it's just about what you could expect from a 2000s-era hood film. The acting isn't great but passable. The cast is diverse, and the women are attractive with beautiful figures (but not a single man is attractive in any way).

I usually don't watch these kinds of films, but I do like Pam Grier blaxploitation films, and the streaming service I watched Candy on has so many black films that I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought I'd just skim through it, but I actually ended up being entertained by it enough to watch until the end. It's not going to win any awards for accomplished filmmaking or acting, but it doesn't have to. It was just passable enough to be entertaining. It's like an expanded, non-musical version of a YT trap tale. It's fine; not great, just fine.

Don't be fooled by the poster/cover - the artwork that is being displayed here at imdb. It is a clever trick one might say to catch the attention of a few people (mainly the male audience). Do not expect the movie to reflect that.

Also this is low budget, so do not expect this to have big .. visuals. What it does have though, is a really cool soundtrack. If you are into the music that is. Also be aware that there are a lot of profanities being used. It is depicting people and how they would talk. In that sense it is quite real. Still there are many scenes that are unnecessary to the story or plot.

You have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to be able to enjoy this. The twist towards the end might help - but it also might be too clever for its own good. Performances are a mixed bag ... you'll get some goodies during the end credits, including outtakes.

Very low budget - thought it was going to be a lot better. Plot was wack! Wasted 2 hours of my day! Total hood film. It was more a girl betrayal movie instead of a bloodshed drug lord movie. Smh

All imma say is..... they tried and I'll give an E for effort!!
