I have mixed feelings about this movie. It looks like a competent well shot expose of the underground graffiti scene in Miami, but on closer inspection it reveals a tale of a sociopathic narccasit who makes all people's lives who come in contact with him significantly worse..
There is no better representation of the word "cringe" than the main protagonist of this movie. He is a self important meme machine who lives in a dimension we can all hope never to exist in. From the squinty eye look to the all too cool delivery, he is so consumed by his own ego it is beyond believable that any other character would give him the time of day, let alone be associated with him..
Our hero has the well worn ethos of the artist who is "keeping it real" and not selling out. How he manages to afford to live in a multi million dollar town house with a custome spray can wall is never explained.
I could write endlessly about the prodigal graffiti guy who we never see produce anything, the laughable villan who can't speak due to his lame "grills", the super serious Feds who have dedicated their lives to busting graffiti gangs... But what's the point!
This is the fast and the furious for spray can gangs and on that level it actually works.
I look forward too the inevitable "Vandlas 9- too toxic, too many fumes" when we debate wether tagging the international space station means the series jumped the shark.
3 starts for effort.
