Editorial Review: Product Description: An unapologetic raw urban drama about two friends raised in the dangerous streets of Kingston who take on the 'shotta' (Jamaican term for gangster) way of life to survive and bring it with them to the U.S.. As they struggle to achieve their dreams of wealth and power their demands become too much for the powerful local drug dealers and the shottas loyalty is tested.Features:Other (Shottas Dictionary; Video Introduction by Ky-Mani Marley and Cess Silvera); Audio commentary (with Director Cess Silvera & Cast)System Requirements:Run Time: 95 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 043396136076 Manufacturer No: 13607 Amazon.com: In Jamaican patois, a gangster is a "shotta" or "shot-caller." Like The Harder They Come and Third World Cop, Cess Silvera choreographs his crime drama to a reggae beat. Bob Marley’s son Stephen provides the music, while Wyclef Jean drops by as a dealer. The saga begins in late-1970s Kingston. Teenagers Biggs (J.R. Silvera) and Wayne (Carlton Grant Jr.) have had their fill of poverty, so they get a gun and start looting and shooting like the shottas they idolize. Flash forward 20 years and Biggs (Stephen’s actor/musician brother, Kymani Marley) has just been deported from the States. He picks up where he left off, joining Wayne (DJ Spragga Benz) and the psychopathic Mad Max (Paul Campbell, Dancehall Queen) in the thug life. As with Pacino's Tony Montana, Miami is their ultimate port of call. Silvera acknowledges the debt to Brian De Palma's Scarface, but there isn't as much drama here--just a lot of violence (spurting blood is a running motif). Cinematographer Cliff Charles uses all manner of visual trickery to lively up the joint, like grainy black and white, slow motion, and jump cuts. The soundtrack also helps to keep things moving, but it's hard to feel sympathy for those who feel no sympathy for anyone but themselves. Vicious as he was, Montana still had a smidgen of sensitivity. As with The Harder They Come, this English-language production is subtitled due to strong accents and pervasive slang. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Review of Shottas The film was ok. But i was thinking that the history was more exciting. But it's a nice movie. Rating:  - SHOTTAS GOODTO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS MOVIE, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW GOOD IT WAS. THE LANGUAGE AND THE ACTUAL REALITY OF THEH LIFESTYLE OVER IN JAMAICA WAS TRUTHFUL. IT WAS WORTH THE BUY Rating:  - Ky - Mani was the best in ShottasThe movie was okay, It really didn't tickle my fancy. Every main character in the film obviously doesn't like a woman of colored - What was that all about? I am totally surprise multi-racial women weren't been betrayed as some type of trophy. Ky- Mani was the man for real though. Rating:  - Perfect Shopping ExperienceThis product arrived before I expected it, was exactly as it was described, and was well packaged. I would recommend this seller to anyone. Rating: - Jamaicans Inspire the WorldIt went from bootlegg to major. it was good enough to make it major it's gotta be good enough for you. it's like rags to riches... |
