ANIMAL – Ving Rhames, Terrence Howard, Jim Brown and Taraji Henson star in this complex urban drama.
(Rhames), a violent gang member sentenced to prison, leaving his young son (Howard) to grow up alone on the streets. While incarcerated, Animal meets an aging revolutionary (Brown) who changes the way the inmate sees himself and his place in the world. When Animal returns home many years later, he discovers his son has assumed his former life of crime. The reformed gangster resolves to end his family’s legacy of violence.
Interesting. Sounds like the black version of American History X with Ed Norton? In fact, didn’t Glenn Plummer already star in this movie, too, only it was called South Central?
Exactly. South Central is the first thing that came to mind when I read it too. Maybe this movie adds a twist to the “reformed father redeeming the son” theme. We’ll see.
I also think South Central when i first read the summary of the movie. I loved the movie south central and it will be interesting to see how this movie differs. I am sure it is a good movie and i am actually looking forward to seeing it!
Animal is the s*** its a great show it has a awsome story to it. Eavin Animal 2 was good but the first one kicked ass. I think they should make another one to it though cuz you got James(Animals) life and Darrins in the first and second show. But now theres James other son James junour and plus at the end of Animal 2 James junours loier said she was going to reopen the case against Animal. So I hope they make another cuz theres quite a few ways to make that show intresting since Animals first son Darrin was the one who shot him and left him with a gun that he bought off the streets that had murders on it. And hopefully if they do make another they keep the same actors exspeshauly Ving Rhames as Animal cause it soots him after the first 2 shows. eavin the other actors should be the same it makes the movie better when you keep the same actor instead of changeing them after the first or second movie well peace out.
