Dead Presidents

The twin Hughes Brothers do a fantastic job in their own right of depicting the hardships of inner city veterans of the Vietnam war and right from the get go I should say comparing this film to THE DEER HUNTER is in no way proper or fair. Larenz Tate in the lead excels at presenting the fresh faced lead who is hardened and burned by his experiences in the war. Chris Tucker is his usual annoying self but he sure is fun to listen to when he gets his cuss on. Small role for the great Michael Imperioli, large role for the now uber-famous Freddy Rodriguez. Story aside DEAD PRESIDENTS is worth seeing if for nothing else the Hughes brothers sense of visual styling and in this case we've yet to see them provide anything better. Most certainly worth a single view!
