Credits

With: Keith David and Larenz Tate

A blazing mixture of action thriller, war story, and family saga, the new movie directed by Albert and Allen Hughes (Menace II Society) follows a lower-middle-class South Bronx youth (Larenz Tate) from his career as a numbers runner to his stint in Vietnam to a back-home armored-car heist. Dead Presidents is filled with '70s black pop on the soundtrack, and, indeed, the film works like a good concept album. Featuring subtle performances by Tate, Clifton Powell as a lollipop-sucking pimp, and the stand-up comic Chris Tucker, whose heroin-addicted Skip speaks in nonstop Richard Pryoresque patter.
