Dead Presidents (1995)

Item # MG0081718

<p>Sophomore release for the Hughes brothers falls short of impact of Menace II Society, but not for lack of ambition. Combination coming of age tale, war story, period piece and caper film follows Anthony (Menace veteran Tate) from his Bronx neighborhood in 1968 to Vietnam (for Platoon adventures in the wilds of Florida) and then back to the 'hood, where his life continues to spiral downward. Desperate to escape, he becomes involved in an armoured car heist to grab some cash (the dead presidents). Supported by hard-edged and effective acting, the Hughes continue to develop their control of cinematic imagery, displaying genius for staging violent, confrontational scenes. But the script, based on a story by the brothers, fails to live up to the vision, with characterization and dialogue lagging. Pounding period soundtrack with contributions by Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye keeps things humming.</p>
