CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
juhanikorhonen-95013 I have to write this review because this movie has got so many praises and good reviews here.I like to listen some reggae but I'm not particulary interested in Jamaican culture or rastafari things so I started watching the film from a very neutral point of view.Right away it feels like the director has some kind of crush on Jamaican culture and reggae and he is trying to pass on this new found love to his audience. But when you analyze this movie from critical point of view the acting isn't too great(terrible), the dialogue is boring, the camera work and directing is very very basic and the plot seems just to be there only so it can be called movie instead a this random mixture of music video and culture documentary In one word it feels FAKE. I think it would have much better impact if the director would have just filmed real life, random events and let the people be themselves without any acting..I couldn't even finish watching this because it just didn't suck me in at any point and that's why I'm not gonna give a rating to it either,
d-barr-772-174135 Rockers is so completely enjoyable and totally unique. Shot on location and starring a community full of Reggae superstars. I would disagree that the plot here is inconsequential. The plot is a quest for a man to rise above his status and make himself, his family and community stronger. His values - peace, love, neighborliness - are tested by the gangsters who try to stop him. But he rises above them and meets the challenge. The end is perfect and sweet. The use of real people as actors and the very poignant of real life in Jamaica is incredibly unusual. And the real question here is who is this Greek director and writer and how did he get so deep inside the Rasta community?
kemicon This is the movie that some say inspired the plot for Pee Wee's Big Adventure. It's a story about an up and coming reggae musician who has his bike stolen and so he embarks on a quest to find his stolen property.Joining him on his journey are some relatively well known names in roots reggae. A stand out scene for instance has Gregory Isaacs cracking a safe!. Another memorable scene shows the immensely talented but little known Kiddus I, shaking out his mass of dreadlocks before singing one of the more memorable songs of the film.All in all it's a very fun and easy film to watch. Although the dialect can sometimes be a tad difficult to decipher it is easy enough to figure out what is going on. Most versions have subtitles but it is just as fun to ignore them and enjoy the local patois.Remove Ya!
GregC67 Incredible film! I watch this movie everyday after work. My favorite part is when Dirty Harry took over the DJ Booth with "Queen Majesty". "Money Worries" by The Maytones and "Natty Take Over" by Justin Hinds are my favorites for the underscore. The DVD is best for its quality on the soundtrack.
