| User Reviewrobert mAs an intelligent movie watching person who shuns negativity, I enjoyed this film very, very much. I really liked the combining of genres that were used in order to make the messages and themes of the film effective. In addition, the film had a very interesting spiritual element throughout the film that many will appreciate. This film is for those that believe that one can transcend their environment to be successful if you have instilled faith and intelligence. |
| User ReviewDavid WI really enjoyed this movie - it was excellent! The acting was great and better than most that are in the movie theaters today. Those that are narrow minded will miss many of the messages this film wonderfully shows. The storyline and the ending was well worth watching. It even had some tear jerker moments. I kept replaying some parts of the movie because it was so good! For those who have an open mind without all the negativity, you will enjoy this movie! It was full of action from the beginning to the end! |
| User ReviewRaymond EThis was definitely one of the best movies of 2012, very well done, acting was terrific, the plot original, and the story was very touching. This movie is a MUST SEE you will not regret it. |
| User ReviewRita PChanging the Game was a great, intelligent, and very inspirational film. If you're not a perceptive person and have no spiritual values, it's not the film for you. It will said over your head like the highest of planes. However, some, regardless of race, will get all of the nuances and uplifting messages. The film is a modern day morality tale that shows how a young and brilliant African-American male rises above this meager surroundings as a youth, and with the religious foundation he gained from his grandmother, he was able to transcend it and what he learned in the streets. The film is clearly not for the pessimistic athiest, but for the eternal optimist. One of the best and most ingenious films I've seen in a really long time! |
