Talk To Me

The richness of this docudrama comes when the characters react to the historical events with such genuine emotion. Don Cheadle does a great job of transforming from the cocky and brash exterior of Petey Greene to the hidden side impeded by stage fright. Chiwetel Ejiofor, currently the poor man’s Denzel, is great too, and both actors will receive gold-ish kudos. Lackluster ending barely detracts from overall meaty drama and funk-filled history lesson.

    All in all a decent review, but I felt the movie was more soul-filled than funk-filled.
