Some laughs to be had but the story felt a bit shallow and ridiculous. No one shaking his hands every time he puts his hand out was one of the best gags.

A fairly consistent collection of east coast gangsta boom bap. There is nothing to write home about though. None of the rappers stand out from the crowd. Benzino's debut, largely produced by Hangmen 3 that he is a member of, is a better album, although he should've learnt something from this and had no skits.

For a low budget movie, with the reception it has, (1.1/5 as I review it now), this was alright. There are slashers, (a genre I'm not big on), where the same thing happens (one person after another dies) that are rated much higher and are completely overrated. The death effects are impressive for a low budget movie. Aside from some more character development and plot, (like most slashers), the main thing that could be better, if they had more cash to splash, is the costume/effects of Pooh and Co rather than just having masks on. I don't know if he was putting on an accent, but Nikolai Leon, who plays Christopher Robin, had some kind of annoying thing happening with his speech and I was glad he went missing for a while. 1.5-2 out of 5.

Benzino is probably best known for beefing with Eminem. That feud started a year after this project was released, so Benzino isn't preoccupied with any Eminem dissing here. As the tracklist suggests, Benzino has a lot of help with only a couple of solo tracks. Thirteen of the seventeen songs are produced by the production group, Hangmen 3, that includes Benzino. The production is more than decent and bangin' at times, with a variety of different sounds, but falters in parts with songs like the single, 'Boottee', produced by Teddy Riley. It stands out within the first five seconds. The repetitive, "Bom, bom, bom, bombombom", or whatever it is, gets annoying. The following 'The Jump Up' is better with Cormega's verse standing out. 'Shine Like My Son' isn't great vocally, featuring Benzino's young son, but the production is funky and Case's smooth vocals add positively to it as well. Other well known features, Scarface and Snoop Dogg, are wasted on the below average 'Figadoh'. 'Bang Ta Diss' is a bit of missed opportunity with the hook lacking any energy. Given the reputation Benzino has as a rapper, this is better than I expected. Delete the skits from the playlist and this isn't a chore to play from start to finish at all. As mention, most of the instrumentation isn't bad, and In terms of the rapping, lyrically there is nothing of note, but I don't dislike any of the vocals. As an aside, unless they have found Jesus, why the hell do artists/labels only put clean versions on streaming services though?!!! It's one of life's mysteries.

What do people like so much about this? Most of the positive reviews seem to indicate that people like it ironically. I read that viewers walked out of the screenings due to excessive violence. While someone gets their head caved in at the beginning, unless it was edited out, there really isn't much to get one's knickers in a knot about. As a film, this is annoying, overacted and doesn't have that much of a plot. One of those style over substance movies.
