"Moses" (Marchánt Davis) is a preacher who runs a mission in Miami with his wife "Venus" (Danielle Brooks) trying to keep things legal and decent, but with cash pressures pressing, he finds himself embroiled in a complex FBI-devised plan to lure some half-baked revolutionaries to the fore whilst the well meaning "Moses" if left completely in the dark. Personally, I reckon that's the best place to be for this. Where was Eddie Murphy and/or Danny Glover? This wobbles along OK, but the attempts at satire are so swamped in a search for some form of anti-establishment acceptance that it loses much of it's sting and the comedy at times borders on the crass. I'm not as versed in the other work of Chris Morris as some, but perhaps that helped me be more objective when I saw this. Not sure it is even 1½ Lions.
