An Enjoyable Look at A Struggling Filmmaker

Calvin Lockhart shines as Jason, a struggling black filmmaker in New York City who has to resort to borrowing money from the mafia to finish his latest movie. Even though this movie rips off the same plot as Hollywood Man, another low-budget movie starring William Smith, this movie actually is buoyed by great supporting performances by Richard Lynch, Charles MacGregor, and special guest star Raymond St. Jacques (he and Lockhart starred together in the classic Cotton Comes to Harlem).

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
