CineVegas 2009 Preview: ‘Black Dynamite’

“This movie features some of the greatest, over the top fight scenes to ever be recorded, along with a soundtrack that leaves you to get funky fresh in your seat.”

“The film has the gritty 70s vibe nailed perfectly.”

Those are just a couple of excerpts from reviews found on this, very site about ‘Black  Dynamite.’  As one of the early films showing at Cinevegas this year, this film is near the top of the list of anticipated films.  Michael Jai White looks badass.  Scott Sanders directions looks equally so.  I’m sure this film is going to get a pretty favorable review from Cinevegas as it did from Sundance and Tribeca.

Here’s the synopsis:

When “the man” kills his brother, pumps heroin into the local orphanage, and floods the ghetto with a secret weapon disguised as Anaconda Malt Liquor, there is only one brother bad enough, strong enough, and brave enough to take them on: the legendary Black Dynamite. BLACK DYNAMITE is a throwback with an attitude. Hilarious, campy, hot, and sexy, it plays with every cliché from 1970s film and television, with a few new ones thrown in for color. Director Scott Sanders doesn’t need to show his hand to get his point across, making it even more fun to watch. He has miraculously assembled a huge cast that all perfectly tread the line between satire and spoof. Crazy kudos need to go to our leading man, played by Michael Jai White, who offers a pitch-perfect performance in every take. Sanders does the near impossible: he sustains the comedy while taking a nice big sucker punch at the underlying politics of our time.
