ALL LIES ON ME

Cinemavixion Review

Billy Wright's "All Lies on Me" offers a nostalgic, if somewhat rough-edged, journey back into the heyday of hip-hop. The film centers on a trio of aging rappers attempting a comeback, a premise that resonates with themes of ambition, faded glory, and the relentless pursuit of artistic validation. Gary Anthony Sturgis, Fredro Starr, and Calvin Cyrus anchor the narrative with performances that blend seasoned camaraderie with the desperation of artists fighting for relevance. While the plot's central race to uncover Tupac Shakur's secret songs provides a compelling hook, the film truly shines in its depiction of the camaraderie and lingering dreams of its protagonists. It's a heartfelt, albeit low-budget, tribute to the enduring spirit of hip-hop and the artists who pour their lives into its creation.
