Snow on tha Bluff

Reality is awarness. Awarness is change.
This movie came across as a hard pill to swallow. I've lived in Atlanta for the past 15 years and the reality of it is, there are places like that, and people like these. The film goes into the life of a young man by the name of Curtis. He's a product of his environment and runs with his crew of young brothers. I have to point out, that while Curtis seems to be at least 27 in this movie, he's seldom found around kids 10 years younger than him. Basically he leads his team of misfits ass they run around the hood and pull licks (thefts) and celebrate with the team. The actions are usually reckless and leave you wondering if these guys are ignorant or just not afraid of jail- or death for that matter. However, the display of karma in the movie is well placed and recognized throughout the entire film. Curtis does suffer the repercussions for his actions. But with a lack of resources to even begin to straiten up, plus drug addiction fueled by emotional aggressive whims, we learn that our...

"Tha Bluff" or a bluff???
I watched the movie and felt uneasy seeing that this was on film because this lifestyle does relate to many "real ni**as" who do what they do for survival, and growth but I kept on watching. This is raw and interesting footage, and it does leaves viewers questioning its validity.

The Bluff may be a project that is rough for folks from Atlanta but me being from Miami, this film felt real light. After watching it twice over, I did realize that a lot of it was fictional, but it was done extremely well. I hope that there is a superior motive for the release of this film and that Curtis may handle the forthcoming successes with a strategic plan to better himself and his community.

I gave the film 5 stars because it relates to me, and my community. I wish the best for Curtis Snow.

A Gritty, Realistic Crime Drama...
Snow On Tha Bluff is a crime/drama that plays out as a documentary (think "found footage" with a twist). The story follows Curtis Snow's life as a drug dealer after he steals a camera from some naive college kids. I highly recommend Snow On Tha Bluff.

What did I like? I enjoy the innovation this film brings to the found footage genre. It really feels like a realistic crime/drama film. It's a gritty and authentic portrayal of their lives. It's only an hour and 20 minutes, but it packs so much and it goes by fast; we see drug deals, robberies, and murders. It's has some powerful moments as well, like when Curtis Snow explains how the drugs have been in his family for a very long time and how his 2 year old son is in the same position as him. It's a controversial film because of how realistic it feels, so the actors did an amazing job.

What did i dislike? The ending was a little unfulfilling and abrupt. Some actions and dialogue felt off/forced.
