Percentage (2014) Reviews

• We're so lucky an extra managed to write a "Great Review"

  Because it's the only enjoyment you'll get out of this steaming pile of horse manure... While slightly better than being vomited on, this movie is so poor on so many levels, that it really is a complete waste of your time. I was quite excited to find out that Macy Gray was in this, and endured what I could of the "script" and "acting" until we see her in the Miami scenes... Oh dear... what a waste that was, she was ******** awful. Ving Rhames also shows up in the worst performance of his career... hope the paycheck was worth it. Just avoid this piece of crap.

• Absolutely horrendous

  This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.. Horribly directed, absurdly stupid script, unbelievably poor acting and just an overall retarded experience. Everything from the poor accents of the actors, to the mistimed events, it's all garbage. I'm going to make a list of the crap in this movie: -Bad music -Poor acting -Bad script/writing -Bad camera angles -Out-of-place clothing -Poor character development -Mistimed events And so, so, so, so much more absolute trash.. What a waste of time. How anyone would find this movie entertaining is beyond my wildest dreams.. Every single one of these people acting are indeed NOT actors. The only person half-way believable is the Turkish "bad guy," and even that was forced. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

• If there is a way to unsee this movie, I want to find it

  First, unless you like seeing Ving Rhames wearing a cowboy outfit, you don't want to see this movie. Second, if you need a reason to wonder why it is this movie was made, please for the love of gods, tell me. Third, there's no spoilers to give away about this godsforsaken movie. It's just that bad. They took what could have been a great plot and instead cast it with people who have no clue what they're supposed to be doing. HOW did they get Ving Rhames into this mess? He is such a good actor. Was it extortion that got him to do this pile of stinking poo? It's not a gangsta' movie, it's not a rapper movie, it's not a crime drama, it fails on so many levels it just is incomprehensible what they were thinking as they watched the final cut of this atrocious thing that they thought, "hey, you know, SOMEONE will like it." No, not they won't unless English is not their first language. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. Don't waste the 90 minutes you could be doing something else, ANYTHING ELSE, watching this.

• THE AMERICAN DREAM IS REALLY A NIGHTMARE

  nogodnomasters2018-07-26

  Ant (Cam'ron) and Carter (Omar Goodling) run into trouble in New York and have to lay low with their cousin in Miami. Ant takes on a straight job helping set up charge processing with businesses. He gets the idea to skim off the transactions. Ving Rhames appears briefly. The film lacked action and drama. I was bored listening to people sit around and talk. The action scenes, such as the party filled with naked women wasn't shown, just the boring morning after. The low budget aspect of the film made it a joke. Parental Guide: F-bomb, N-word. Nudity.

• Lazy, turgid crime drama

  Two Bronx hustlers, Ant (Cam'ron) and Carter (Omar Gooding) are in the middle of a major deal, when suddenly the authorities raid the club. Both make their escape and are advised to lie low, so it's off to Miami to stay with Carter's cousin. However, lying low is not a possibility when the temptation to make fast money takes hold again. That's about as exciting as it gets, folks. Percentage is a truly dire experience. The laziness that runs throughout this shoddy caper is inexcusable, covering everything from it's terrible camera work, dull locations (how can you make Miami look dull?), poor direction and woeful acting. The cast list reads well, but everyone looks like they'd rather be somewhere else. Cam'ron leads with a fantastically uncharismatic display (the white b*tches scene is toe curlingly cretinous), Macy Gray gives a rambling, shaky version of her usual shtick and Ving Rhames delivers the most absurd turn you'll ever (not) want to see him in. As for the plot, it's both nonsensical and boring, I mean really boring. Even the action sequences, what little there are of them, are totally inept. There also seems to be huge chunks missing from key points (and meaningless ones) in the movie. Add in the badly handled editing and you'll neither fully know nor care what's going on by the end. Unquestionably one to avoid, this is one Percentage that you'll regret taking a cut of.
