As a person that keeps up with Gkids new releases, I was excited to see this movie, it looked like a sleek gta movie, which for the most part it is. Let me break it down a bit
Characters: The main character Leon is a little bland but he gets the job done, Vinz voices by rapper Vince staples does a good job of being a likable cool best friend.......and the characters kinda end there, the girl is just....there, she's really just there to be the savior angel at the end. The villains? I really couldn't care about them, the main villain with the golden gun is fine. I'm not really gonna talk about Willy because he was just comic relief
Art: French art and animation proves to be unique and sleek, it's fun and engaging to watch
Music: a mixture of west coast hip hop and dubstep keeps the energy up
Story: Now, as much I like the fun bits of this movie, the story? We start off solid, you want to know more about the world, but man does it dip in quality sometimes. The fun chase scenes or fighting scenes are great, the moments of banter between Leon and Vinz, cool. But it has moments like the introduction of the wrestlers, that are skippable. I had a lot of fun with the first half, but I actually turned the movie off during the second half because it got too serious and fake deep for its own good. I did come back and just skip until Vinz and Leon were back to doing their thing. There's really nothing too special here with the story and some plot points feel unneeded. But if you just watch the fun parts of the movie then it's a nice watch
Verdict: it's always nice to see fluid 2d animation so I'm a little more lenient with this movie. The story isn't the best, it really drags at times. But! The fast paced gta like moments is what keeps this movie from bombing. I would recommend that when you watch this movie, to skip the wrestler intro and when Leon is at the secret organization.
