Reviews Featuring Mekhi Phifer

Hell’s Kitchen NYC
An unremarkable film that largely fails to appeal – likely to please few of the people most of the time, with the exception of those seeking only to ogle Angelina Jolie.

8 Mile
Fine tension-filled coming-of-age drama with Eminem turning in a commendable performance in his first major role. This film will even appeal to many who have no knowledge of or interest in the rap lifestyle.

A Lesson Before Dying
A gem of a movie that avoids any kind of happy ending and instead concentrates on getting its dramatic message across.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Even the title doesn’t work.

Honey
Sweet without being too drippy - just like honey.

Dawn of the Dead
Darkly funny, tense and devastatingly grim, it manages to bring a classic horror back to life without stinking of rot. Bust a gut to see it.
