I saw "Sleight", starring Jacob Latimore-Collateral Beauty, The Maze Runner; Seychelle Gabriel-Falling Skies_tv, The Last Airbender; Dule Hill-Psych_tv, The West Wing_tv and Storm Reid-The Summoning, 12 Years a Slave.
This movie is about a street magician, Jacob, that sells drugs as a side gig to make enough money to take his sister, Storm, somewhere safer than where they are living now-lots of drug dealers operate in the area. Both of his parents are dead so his sister is his main concern. Jacob thinks he can just get out of the life at any time but his boss, Dule, keeps dragging him deeper into it and things are getting more violent. Seychelle plays Jacob's girlfriend, who helps motivate him to make a break from Dule and seek a better life. Jacob was also smart in school- he was good in science-and so he uses both his school smarts and magic tricks to try to make things better. I guess you could say that this is like if Houdini and Tony Stark combined their DNA, Jacob would be the result. It's rated "R" for language, drug content and violence and has a running time of 1 hour & 29 minutes. I don't think I would buy it on DVD-it's not quite a super hero movie, but it is close-but it would be a good rental.
