Rockers Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ShangLuda Admirable film.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
muruly59 My first ever review on IMDb and the honor goes to this wonderful gem. As a fan of the music since childhood, we have been blessed to able to experience the music through these cast of characters. The plot follows a charismatic lead, played by Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, journey during the sufferers era in Jamaica. Trying to make an earnest living, Leroy is a tireless records salesman by day and a drummer for a band at a tourist resort some nights. What makes this movie great is the journey he takes as along. First and foremost, the devotion to religion, being a respectable individual in society and the interactions with his friends. The directors subtle use of the story to incorporate the music genre keeps the viewer entertained. A whose who of reggae is featured with an emphasis of enhancing the plot to the very end.The films biggest fault to date is the directors unawareness to catalogue a wonderful piece of music upon our lead at a key scene. It's other few faults can be forgiven since everything else is engaging.As a whole, Rockers is engaging, entertaining and dare I say classic for anyone invested in knowing a part of the greatest music of all, ROCKERS.9/10
strongislekb I-man loves this movie! A true classic! Everyt'ing from the music to the actors to the land of the JA makes this a must see. Much more intimate than "The Harder They Come" and not as dark. This is also a very funny movie. The "Stepping Razor" walking montage is classic hilarity! Get this film and keep it in your collection. Do not lend it out or you might not see it again, sight? Without taking away from the great directing Theodore Bafaloukos did, this movie almost makes itself! Show me a movie with realer characters and I'll argue you with you day and night, seen? The soundtrack is great! All kinds of reggae styles from a cross-section of artists...many of whom are in the film! Jah Guide, Protection Until Time, and Loveful Heights!
CatTales You don't have to be a reggae fan to enjoy this film (it's not a concert film); the scene compositions are unobtrusively beautiful and thoughtful, and sucked me in. This might seem unsurprising since the director has an art photography background, but he achieves in his directorial debut what most directors only dream about. The plot, acting and music combine to make a very fun, laid back movie and a pleasure to watch. It's a shame it's the director's only film.
GregC67 Incredible film! I watch this movie everyday after work. My favorite part is when Dirty Harry took over the DJ Booth with "Queen Majesty". "Money Worries" by The Maytones and "Natty Take Over" by Justin Hinds are my favorites for the underscore. The DVD is best for its quality on the soundtrack.
