disapointed...thats how i felt after watching this movie. I bought it because I love hip hop and love graffiti along with all other aspects. this was the flick that got the best reviews, as you can see from the reviews below this, and man was i disapointed.
First off, after only about 10 minutes into the flick I was already thinking the thoughts of "corny" "lame" and other similars.
The plot kind of sucks because yes, there is a plot, but in the end, it doesnt matter. The movie just portrays death ultimatley. Its a real sad story and just makes you shake your head. Vandal Squad? Ex graff artist pullin guns on current graff artists? lame style. none of the characters are too developed, and a lot of stuff just ends up making no sense.
All though this review may not give you a good idea of the flick, I guess you could check it out, but do not waste a purchase.
The art is cool in it, but better off going out and finding a good internet site to check out art.
And el-p does provide a good soundtrack. other then that I was mad disapointed by lousy acting, decent filming, cool settings and just over all lame stuff...
peace

Great film. No a documentary but still very informative. Great cast and story line although it stalls a few times

I really enjoyed the act of sitting down and watching this film.If you have a big enough screen (or sit close enough to the television) this film will take you on a fun visual and thematic roller coaster right of emotions and stimuli. I don't know much about graffitti, but the main character and the visuals really drew me in. The story-line wasn't shakespearian in complexity and originality, but it did what it was supposed to do (and I think bringing in aliens or a vast govermental conspiracy would have been a bit distracting anyway).
Even if you aren't into the film at all, if you find the main actor as attractive as I do you might just as well go out and buy the film anyway:p

Wow,,, after watching this movie I was really impressed. The filming is great and the story line is fantastic. The plot isn't all that realistic but the setting is. The soundtrack is a good fit for the film and the artwork is good. People interested in the underground artwork community will love this as well as serious writers.
Overall I was extremely satisfied with this film and would recommend it too most.

i must admit, i was pretty close-minded when it came to the "art" of graffiti. i considered it vandalism that destroyed and disrespected the orignal beauty of a building, wall, school, etc. however, this movie really helped me see past the stereotype that all graffiti art is fueled by egos and impulsive behavior. it provided a good argument for the portrayal of graffiti as a showcase of authentic emotion and undying pride. im thankful that this movie has given me the opportunity to see something like graffiti from a different perspective. if anything, see this movie for the enlightenment and ability to understand a different lifestyle. this movie made a huge impact on my perspective, and i actually consider the story that may be behind a random tag on the wall. basically: highly recommended.

Diesen Film sollte man sich zuerst auf Deutsch ansehen, damit man erst einmal versteht worum es geht. Jedoch empfehle ich ihn auf Englisch zu sehen, da die originalen Stimmen besser zu den Characteren passen. An dem Film gefällt mir sehr die Musik und die Kameraführung, welche gemeinsam eine Art dauerhaften Rauschzustand der Protagonisten vermitteln und auch die Verwendung eines grünen Filters bei Szenen mit starker Intensität.
Außerdem gefällt mir, dass der Alltag der Sprayer im Film der Daily- Routine eines echten sprayers, mal abgesehen von korrupter Polizei und Mord, schon recht ähnlich ist.
Ich glaube,dass dieser Film nie wirklich erfolgreich geworden ist, weil ihn viele Menschen nicht verstehen. Sie sehen ihn ihm nur eine Geschichte von Sprayern die sich mit der Polizei anlegen und leider, dramatischerweise, dabei ihr Leben verlieren. Doch wenn man sich ausführlich mit dem New York der 1970er Jahre beschäftigt und Anthony "Blest" mit " Markus Anthonius" und Alexandra mit " Cleopatra", findet sich eine Parallele zu einem bereits existierendem Drama.
Dieser Film ist wirklich sehenswert, denn Regisseur Adam Bhala ist Genie. Das Problem eines Genies ist nur,dass es seiner Zeit vorraus ist und nicht verstanden wird.

Nicht schlecht aber auch nicht ganz gut..
Reviewed in Germany on September 18, 2015
Der film ist zwar nicht so gut wie Wholetrain oder fatcap express,
Aber auch nicht schlecht.
Zwischendurch die kamera Effekte verwirren etwas,
Und auch so fehlt irgendwas an dem Film.
Obwohl alles drin vorkommt wie es bei manchen sprayern so abläuft.
Kiffen.. Partys.. Dosen klauen...
Ich finde den Schluß des Filmes irgendwie komisch und nicht so passend.
Sonst ist das Bonus Material auch nicht so der killa.
Wenig informativ meines Erachtens.
Aber naja
Auch hier empfehle ich jeden graffiti Liebhaber oder der es noch werden will mal reinzuschauen.

unterirdisch schlecht.

30 quälend lange Minuten habe ich den Film geschaut. Alles was in "Wholetrain" richtig gemacht wurde, macht dieser Film falsch.
Nicht authentisch. Schlechtes Graffiti. Ultra-Schlechte Dialoge.
