"Have you ever held a gun, or taken a man's life, or tasted human flesh?"
Well that escalated quickly.
Finally got around to watching this. This edit takes the single-season show Kingpin from 2003 and edits it down to a 1hr 46min film. It's well edited and rapidly paced. A LOT of cuts here, but nearly all are well smoothed out and invisible. Main problem is the the story itself, it suffers from underdeveloped characters and a mediocre plot. But there is a lot less of it and Adabisi has kept it quite focussed throughout to tell a straightforward drug lord tale. I liked the closing credits, although the text went by too quickly.
Even though it's not on the same level, the show feels like a precursor to Breaking Bad whilst also showing influence from The Sopranos.
